Crystal Palace Genuine Remains
Well there is the Crystal Colonnade Wall (its the wall near the train station).
The Orangery Wall (near the aquarium)
Part of the backwall of the basement (where the yellow paddle boats were for years).
What survives of the basement\foundations are buried under WW2 rubble and other earth.
The bases of the South and North Tower still exist.
South Tower is quite visible, the North Tower is semi-visisble and mostly buried with trees growing out of it (like a giant flower pot) and part of Thames Waters land.
One of the fountains still survives and is next to the farm.
There is quite likely a number of foundations buried of other buildings around the park.
