Crystal Palace Dinosaur Court

London is truly the kind of city that surprises you at every turn so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised to enter what would seem to just be another beautiful London Park to find that this particular one was host to a whole bunch of Dino sculptures! And not just any sculptures but the first dino sculptures in the world. Isn’t that all kinds of awesome? If this park was on my doorstep my running route would definitely including coming by and saying hi.

Even though these dinos were first installed in 1854, I like how Bromley Council have tried to bring them into the current century by installing some audio points along the trail.

There are other fun things in the Park as well, including a maze. Deceivingly simple eh Craig?

After we worked up an appetite walking around the park and making our way out of the maze we then totally undid all of that exercise by indulging in some lovely pub food (including a gorgeous ovened camembert with garlic) with Andrew and Elly, some friends of ours from work who live locally.
