Sydenham Hill Wood

There is a good walk in Sydenham Hill Wood starting at Cox's Walk. There is the track bed of the Crystal Palace and South London Junction Railway leading to the Crescent Wood Tunnel. Eventually it ended at Crystal Palace High Level Station. Nearby is the site of the former Lordship Lane Station (seen in painting by Camille Pissaro {talk}) Walk Station Views along line On September 17, 2016 (as part of Openhouse London) I visited the Crystal Palace Subway which linked the High Level Station to the park for 1st Class rail passengers. I was interested as I'd walked part of the railway line to the station
