A short history of SE19
For centuries the area was part of the Great North Wood, an oak forest on the edge of London and the name Norwood is a shortened form of North Wood. Building over it began in the 19th century.

Fire destroyed the Palace on 30 November 1936 and the site became Crystal Palace Park. In 1966 the stolen Jules Rimet trophy was found on Beulah Hill. There are 37 listed buildings nearby, with Grade II* for the Church of St John and the Subway, Vestibule, Terrace and Stairs to the Crystal Palace.
