unknownndestinationn — Hyde Park

Most people head to places like Hyde Park… but hidden away in South London is a place where you can walk among dinosaurs 👀 These are the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs—30 life-sized sculptures that have been standing here for over 170 years. @crystalpalaceparktrust They’re actually the world’s first-ever dinosaur sculptures, unveiled in 1854, and they’ve recently been restored so you can see them looking better than ever. The best part? They don’t actually look like the dinosaurs we know today… That’s because they were built using Victorian scientific knowledge, making them a fascinating glimpse into how people imagined dinosaurs long before modern discoveries. Save this for your next sunny walk in London. 🤍 📍 Crystal Palace Park #londonguide #crystalpalace #londonhiddengems #visitlondon #secretlondon South London hidden gems | Crystal Palace Park | Crystal Palace Dinosaurs | London parks | Free things to do in London | Hidden gems London
