Alexandra Park

Alexandra Park is a large landscaped park in the London Borough of Haringey in Greater London. It is on a hill , adjacent to Muswell Hill and north of Crouch End. It is dominated by Alexandra Palace. From 1936 to 1981, the BBC transmitted TV progammes from a tall mast built onto one of the towers of the palace. The vast tree lined sloping hill has spectacular views over London and a network of paths and walks. Haringey council also put on a spectacular firework and music display on the nearest Saturday to Guy Fawkes Night. At the foot of Muswell Hill the park is host to a weekly farmers market selling fresh organic produce. In 1980, most of the palace was gutted by a huge fire. The building has since been restored and is now a conference and exhibition centre.An Act of Parliament in 1900 created the Alexandra Palace and Park Trust. The Act required the Trustees to maintain the Palace and Park and make them available for the free use and recreation of the public for ever.The park has a secondary school named after it Alexandra Park School.
