Crystal Palace (High Level) was a railway station in South London. It was one of two stations built to serve the new site of the Great Exhibition building, the Crystal Palace, when it was moved from Hyde Park to Sydenham Hill after 1851. It was the terminus of the Crystal Palace and South London Junction Railway (CPSLJR), which was later absorbed by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR). The station closed permanently in 1954. The Grade II listed subway, that led to the exhibition halls, was restored in 2024 using £2.8m of grant funding; on completion, the station was expected to be removed from the Heritage at Risk Register.^[1][2] It reopened in late 2024.
