Ah… one of the few sunny days this Summer (well, half a day, anyway). So: off to Crystal Palace park to look at the Victorian entertain-and-educate plan for the masses: dinosaurs! Yes! Well, I’m not going to regale you with all the monsters’ names: just enjoy some of the pics.

They also have a few live animals there, as there is a mini-children’s zoo and education centre. Do you like dodgy pigs, perhaps?

Of course, the park is famous for the palace it was named after, which unfortunately burned down in 1936 and was almost completely destroyed. A few of the famous sphinx statues still survive.
