A Crystal Palace project spokesman said: "It is good so many people are taking the opportunity to find out more and contribute towards the plans to rebuild The Crystal Palace as a cultural attraction and restore the surrounding public park.

"More than 350 people attended on Saturday to talk directly with members of the project team who were on hand to answer questions ranging from the process of selecting a designer to the timing of the planning application.

"We will be continuing to share and discuss plans with local people as they progress this year and there will be many more opportunities for local people to contribute."

Saturday’s consultation day took place at Anerley Town Hall.
