The Crystal Palace was a steel and glass building which was built in Hyde Park in London to house the Great Exhibition of 1851.

After the exhibition ended, it was dismantled and re-assembled on a new site in Upper Norwood, a suburb on very high ground in South London. In 1936, it burned down and rumour has it that it was arson because the impending war with Germany would have meant that incoming bombers would be able to use it as a landmark. The footings and plinths of the building are still in situ and the surrounding area is now known as Crystal Palace and has a football team named after it.
