They couldn't wait til the Croydon riots then, perhaps it was practice.

Slightly off topic - I would love some kind of recreation of the Great Exhibition. Not quite as poncy as the Dome was but a proper crowd puller

I know, even I thought it might last a bit longer than that, but I guess putting the word palace in the thread title, and me appearing smugly pleased, may have been a bit of a give away.

My mother saw it happening from across South London.

Which London palace was destroyed by fire in 1834 and rebuilt years later? It's still standing now.

On fire
That was the FOURTH time the place had burned down.

Indeed it was, I toyed with giving the other dates but I'm sure 1834 isn't too ambiguous.

See they got history for this sort of thing.
Tooting, eh!

Amazing that they haven't had a good fire since 1936 come to think about it.
