Crystal Palace

Crystal PalaceCrystal Palace was originally created by Joseph Paxton to house the Great Exhibition in 1851 in Hyde Park. It was then re-located to South London, where it continued to exist as an exhibition venue, as well as brief serving as a military base during World War One. On June 9th, this historic landmark will be called upon once again to act as one of the two start points for Nightrider™ 2012.
