Alexandra Park, London

From 1936 to 1981, the BBC transmitted TV programmes from a tall mast built onto one of the towers of the palace.

Until September 1970, the park hosted horse racing, including many evening meetings that were televised by the BBC.

The Alexandra Park Racecourse on the plain below the palace was nicknamed "the Frying Pan" owing to its shape, featuring an ornate Victorian grandstand and cast-iron railings.

[6][7] A medium-sized lake attracts a variety of waterfowl in all seasons, and used to have a large enclosure housing a small herd of fallow deer.

[13] The Friends of Alexandra Park organise walks, such as fungi, tree, wild flower, history and bat.

The large neighbourhood's identity has been reinforced by its local website and Alexandra Park Library.
