The music video to the Chemical Brothers 'Setting Sun' was also shot here, skip forward to 2m40s and you can clearly see it: ruclips.net/video/p5NX1FC-7-w/видео.html
When seeing this little beauty, one could only imagine how impressive and beautiful the Crystal Palace itself had been. If someone would borrow me a TARDIS...
Going to London next month, definitely going to search for this. Thanks! London has so many secret treasures like this one just waiting to be reborn. History is fascinating and so important to preserve.
I was there at Open House Days in 1997, really impressed by its beauty. But if I'm not wrong, it was in better shape than today. Hope the reconstruction will be successful...
I used to hang around the old site in the late 70s and early 80s. Skinheads and punks used to sniff glue down there and all sorts of drop outs and junkies would use it... Was a nasty stinky place. But, it was wonderful to see as a young man. I had a lot of passion for the old crystal palace and walked around the site many times.
i also heard that the prototype tunnel for the London underground was tested on land where the crystal place stood too Anerley hill entrance if i recall right
There's a smidge of misinformation at the start. The Great Exhibition of 1851 took place in Hyde Park in the temporary building that was quickly dubbed 'The Crystal Palace'. After the exhibition closed the building was dismantled and reconstructed in the Sydenham area, but the exhibition itself didn't follow. The subway wasn't built and used to attend the exhibition, just to gain access to the building which previously housed it.
Don't be Lie ve the story of it . look at it think who built it with what ... horses cart's.. shovels.they built the like in every major city in America Japan South America....
Just seen the announcement about the subway opening to the public. What a shame some of our more affluent members of the human race can't get together to rebuild the Palace. Please God, please make it happen.
If this would be open to the public, it would be a reason for me to visit London again after over twenty years.. Can anyone tell me which music video was shot here, which was mentioned in this video?
It will be nice to reopen Cristal Palace tube Station, We will spend less time commuting towards Victoria Station which is already so crowded! It will be a great economical opportunity for Cristal Palace to increase its development, also beneficial for the youth. We don't need a space event, we need to commute properly to go to work! Thank you. Best Wishes. DDB.
Market stalls selling local produce only and they have to prove they are paying their taxes in order to get a stall, and not be owned by any larger corporate interests. All stalls pay rent to be there which pays for up keep and any further profits go to local charities. Utopia I guess.
It’s ancient. Ask yourself how they built things like this with no machinery and horse and buggy? History is a lie, and they left a lot out so we will never know our true potential.
@@malcolmcanning548 I know. But, it so obvious that we didn't build all that stuff before electricity. We can't even build it today. And the masses never question.
@@kenkanada131 I'm 66yrs been in steel construction for 50yrs...I can guarantee the likes of us could never build not even with all our technology today these structures...
Wow...what a beautiful piece of architecture...those vaulted ceilings are sublime! I hope they can be renovated !
Yes! I remember sheltering there as a 3/4 year old.
I'm from around there and never knew that existed. Awesome.
So glad this channel did a video on the subway. Those parts of the Crystal Palace are such a great place full of history. Great video

+Londonist Ltd Hello Londonist i just want to know if there are any secrets of the TFL Ril or Tramlink?
Is there an update to what's happened since this video was made?
When seeing this little beauty, one could only imagine how impressive and beautiful the Crystal Palace itself had been. If someone would borrow me a TARDIS...
Wow, so beautiful and well preserved :))
Going to London next month, definitely going to search for this. Thanks! London has so many secret treasures like this one just waiting to be reborn. History is fascinating and so important to preserve.
WOW! That's amazing. You really are one lucky so and so Geoff...
So much good stuff to see and learn with your videos!
I was there at Open House Days in 1997, really impressed by its beauty. But if I'm not wrong, it was in better shape than today. Hope the reconstruction will be successful...
Its going super well. I live local and pass it every day. They are rebuilding the roof of the outside bit and making it nice.
Wow, very lovely
It reminds me a bit of the Bethesda Terrace passage in New York's Central Park.

You don't mean when the building still existed. It burned down about 87 years ago.
i also heard that the prototype tunnel for the London underground was tested on land where the crystal place stood too Anerley hill entrance if i recall right

I'll put that on my list for London Open House 2020!
Don't be Lie ve the story of it . look at it think who built it with what ... horses cart's.. shovels.they built the like in every major city in America Japan South America....
I remember when it was open and few people knew about it. I used to have my lunch down there!.
I would like to go inside!
Any news on the restoration?
Yes do it I would love that
That has been cleaned up a lot since I used to, umm, visit from school in the 70's...
That is older than Canada!
And with a much better track record of genocide too!
It's tartarian architecture.. Canada London new York. . look into it you will be intrigued.all these are BS narratives
@ENGLISH JONA who where the moors
@ENGLISH JONA they bury lies in a liebury . Andrew Carnegie donated libr arts All over whirld
@ENGLISH JONA I know how do you xplane
i was urban exploring there in the 80s
Can we get an update on this story?
The update is that officual hi syory is bs
Wow❤
Does anyone know what music video was filmed there in the 1980s ?
Would love an update on this - what has happened in the last 2 years?
If the old crystal palace railway was still in use it wouldve been part of the southeastern
Where is the extra video about the Crystal Palace high level station and line? I can't seem to find it.
have you found it?
Is it time to rebuild the Crystal Palace already?
I don't think they'd be able to these days.....not to the old standard, anyway.
Shakespeare would work well under there...
If they renovate this and open it to the public again, seems to me an ideal place for a homeless encampment .....
Perhaps employ a park keeper to regularly open and close a gate.
Hey that should make you think when the lady said they don't know who made it,the previous civilization made it was before the reset😎😎😎😎😎😎
Nice
This is Old World Structures before HIS-STORY was re-written by Victors of War.
It’s deeper deception than one would ever imagine.
What have you been smoking?

Crystal Palace blood, Crystal. Haven't you seen the football shirts?
Wow,and if you believe this native I've got some ocean from property in Arizona I want you to take a gander at:)jmt
Setting sun by ghe chemical brothers was shot here. Partly here and above in the park.
There is a 1000 yrs add to our history..reserch it
It looks like Jill gates.

1:03 wait you don’t know who built this?? 🤣🤣 alright
Tartarian :-)
@@PacificNorthwest360 very red brick.
Tartarian or moor architecture not Victorian
Great video, love your content. May I suggest you check out the '180 degree rule' for interviews? :)
hi
Free mud flood
The Crystal Palace should be rebuilt someday

Hisstory. It's obvious to the thinking... don't get frustrated.... just enjoy the nonsense narrative.
Tartarian
@@kenkanada131 that's not in the narrative...

100% an old world tunnel. Commandeered by the new world ppl and made up some architect, as usual.
Tartary

Your staccato sentence structure sounds silly sir.
You look silly.
How boring
