EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this beautiful postcard image of Hornsey Pleasure Gardens in Crouch End, North London, circa 1910. The lush greenery and picturesque lake are the focal points of this idyllic scene, with visitors enjoying a leisurely day out in the sun. In the background, the grandeur of Alexandra Palace stands proudly, its distinctive red-tiled roof and white columns a striking contrast to the natural beauty of the gardens. Hornsey Pleasure Gardens were a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The gardens featured a variety of attractions, including a boating lake, bandstand, and tea rooms. Visitors could also enjoy a stroll through the gardens, taking in the fragrant blooms and picturesque scenery. Alexandra Palace, located on a hill overlooking London, was a popular cultural and recreational destination in its own right. Opened in 1873, the palace was home to a theater, art gallery, library, and observatory, as well as the famous BBC transmitting station. The palace and its surrounding parklands offered breathtaking views of the city and provided a much-needed escape from the urban environment. This postcard image captures a moment in time when life was simpler, and the pleasures of nature and community were cherished. The gardens and palace continue to be popular destinations today, offering visitors a glimpse into the past while providing modern amenities and attractions for all to enjoy.
