About Crystal Palace
The Crystal Palace was a cast iron and plate glass structure, originally built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. The exhibition took place from 1 May to 15 October 1851, and more than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m), and was three times the size of St Paul's Cathedral.

He was very, very good at diving, but not quite good enough to make the Olympic team so he decided to branch out. Exactly, but he did represent Britain in the Commonwealth Games in 1990.

High-bored diving, which he used to practice in Crystal Palace as a high-bored there, and they have a pool there where Tom Daly would practice as well. Before Tom Daly, Jason Statham, you would be there. That's really interesting.
