Sydenham

Sydenham, a suburb of London, about 6 miles S.S.E. It is well known on account of the Crystal Palace npon Sydenham Hill, which was erected in 1854 from the materials of the Exhibition held in Hyde Park in 1851. The Palace commands a good view, and is itself a landmark for miles in every direction. The multiplication of amusements in London itself has caused the Palace to be less resorted to than formerly, but the fireworks in summer are immensely popular.
