Ballot now open to visit Crystal Palace subway
Friends of Crystal Palace Subway are pleased to announce that the ballot for places to visit the subway during next month’s Open House London event (20/21 September) is now open.
Last year was the first time the stunning vaulted walkway had been opened for the London-wide cultural event; 1500 people took part in a ballot for supervised access and more than 500 people got to visit the site.
Chair of the Friends of Crystal Palace Subway, Karl Richter, said:
“Last year’s visitors were hugely enthusiastic and gave us very positive feedback. In the interests of everyone’s safety and enjoyment, numbers do have to be limited but we hope to show an extra 260 people around the subway during Open House weekend compared to last year.”
