Join me for a full explore of the remains and Hidden Secrets and History of The Crystal Palace, this is a 3 part series looking at everything related to the palace and it's park. This huge building formed part of London history for many decades.
In this video, we explore the various railways that brought passengers to the Crystal Palace, and also take a look at some of the experimental railways to appear in the park. From the Pneumatic Railway which was basically a Victorian Hyperloop system to Kearney's High Speed Railway, the Gliding Railway, Mountain Railway & Topsy-Turvy Railway.

i used to live in farguhar road as a child & a teenager & i remember 'puffer' trains waking me up early in the morning as the front engines were reversed onto a turntable in a siding which ran parallel to the road; i could see the trains from my house; the bridge was further up the road to my right where there was a bend in the road, which joined up with crystal palace parade, where many buses terminated; i used to play in crystal palace park & the woods which were on the other side of the station wall.

Thank you very much for a great series. I was lucky enough to live close to Penge Gate for over 20 years and spent many happy times in Crystal Palace Park. I would highly recommend a visit to Crystal Palace (Low Level) Station even if you are not intending to travel by train to see how a beautiful station can be restored and bought into the 21st century. Also if you ever get the chance to follow the disused railway from the High Level Station it is a great walk with loads to see. There are 2 tunnels (Paxton and Crescent Woods) which are not open but you can visit their portals. Upper Sydenham Station still exists as a private residence and in Sydenham Hill Woods as well as one of the portals to Crescent Wood tunnel there is a footbridge called Cox's Walk which used to cross the railway. In addition the old trackbed at Lordship Lane Station within the grounds of Horniman Museum has been turned into a nature reserve. Thanks once again for bringing back happy memories.

Just a fantastic series, thank you! I’ve long been fascinated by the Crystal Palace. What a shame they did not preserve the site better and simply bulldozed the remains away. To this day when you visit the site it feels quite ghostly as if there was something much more important there before. I have friends who remember their parents seeing the blaze in 1936 and keeping lumps of melted glass as souvenirs.

Darren, I have to say that I’m most impressed with your 3 part series on the magnificent Crystal Palace exhibition formerly at Upper Sydenham/ Penge Wood, I grew up on Gipsy Hill back in the 60’s and have many vivid memories of exploring the different parts of what remains of the old exhibition building, the grounds and old high level railway, the railway tunnels (Paxton and Crescent Wood just below Upper Sydenham station), also the old track bed leading to Lordship Lane station (now a housing estate) and still in place is the footbridge over the line at Cox’s Walk. However, I did spot a slight error in your video where you said that the bridge where the high level station entrance was is the original bridge, unfortunately that is a modern replacement, I seem to remember them replacing it back in the 1980’s as the original was deemed unsafe, but everything else you have shown I believe is correct, I also remember that there was a coal merchants office that was on the corner next to the main entrance to the station which survived until about 1970. Anyway, I would like to congratulate you on a truly professional quality video series, it’s always a pleasure to hear about the old Crystal Palace exhibition and the incredible park as it was in its heyday, thank you for rekindling such wonderful memories growing up so close in such an historic area of London.

Thanks for the fantastic series on the Crystal palace. I grew up in West Dulwich and in the 60s these underground cellars by the railway station were available to us kids (if you knew how to get in) and these were our playgrounds (until we were thrown out!) The whole of the Crystal Palace site was an amazing place but I didn't appreciate this at the time and I wish they had kept more of the original. I used to see the motor racing on the old track - very loud! Thanks for bringing back these memories.

A brilliantly fascinating series about Crystal Palace. When Will was at senior school in the early 80’s he had a teacher telling his class that he was a historian and he and a group of fellow historians were looking for the lost train carriage which they believed to be underground in Crystal Palace Park but as far as he is aware, they never found it and he’d heard no reference to it until your video which brought back some amazing memories of things he’d long since forgotten 😀👍🏼

Thank you for making and posting these videos. I lived at various locatios in that area as a child and teenager and we often went to the park. My mum remembered going to the palace as a young child and often told me about the fireworks. As a teenager i found out about the myth of the buried carriage. It has been going on for years in various forms. It has also involved the two tunnels on the route from the old station. It was said dead bodies from the London blitz supposedly put in the paxton tunnel on an old train and children dissappearing and being found in the tunnel. All myths because the railway tunnels weren't sealed in the 60s, i have spoken to somone who walked through both as a boy. The platforms were still there. I used to look over the wall and asked if we could go down but my mum said NO.

I never knew the Crystal Palace was so big, the blended images show this off superbly (I have used this method myself in my home town). The atmosphere railway was super interesting to me as I have investigated the South Devon Railway built by Brunel in 1844 which ran on an atmosphere pipe line from Exeter and the one he took insperation from in Ireland.

Just discovered this video! I grew up in Woodland Rd Crystal Palace. As a kid (1960s-ish) I remember exploring the ruins of Crystal Palace. I remember walking along Farquar Rd with a friend & somehow finding the entrance to the underground tunnel which was not cordoned or blocked off at that time. Although the tunnel was dark, we could see what looked like an old train engine about 50 meters ahead. We didn’t venture into the tunnel because it looked too dark & scary. I would like to know if anyone else had this experience & if this engine is on display anywhere? Thanks Darren for a great video. Keep up the good work.

This has been such an interesting series! Thank you! The then and now edits bring the sheer scale of the palace and the excitement of the exhibition to life. So much so, that I would love the opportunity to go back in time and feel the electric atmosphere as people witnessed all of these amazing new proposals for rail travel and novelty rides, in the midst of truly massive architecture! Amazing 😎
