Let your imagination run wild in this surreal London Park. Crystal Palace is a great place to walk around dinosaurs and get introduced in prehistoric vibes.  Sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins was commissioned to make lifesized models of newly discovered dinosaurs back in 1952.

Note: family and children friendly over the weekends

The oldest surviving fire station in Peckham, converted and restored by 6a architects, is now an annexe to the South London Gallery.
