Crystal Palace

SE19, SE27

In the Victorian era, Crystal Palace was seen as an oasis of calm, away from the urban sprawl within the centre of London. Polluted air within the city lead people to Crystal Palace, where, because of the raised plateaux, the air was cleaner and life was altogether less hectic.

Norwood is an increasingly attractive residential area with a developing local economy. The area enjoys flourishing transport, leisure, business, shopping, heritage, amenities and services.

On the property market, Norwood can meet the needs of the first time buyer as well as those who want something highly exclusive. There are good local shops and excellent potential such as late evening shopping, restaurants and bars in West Norwood.

In the middle of the town centre is the famous West Norwood Cemetery. This ranks alongside Highgate as a bizarre and beautiful insight into the Victorian age. Its catacombs and monuments, including memorials to many famous names, are one of London's hidden treasures.
