Smart alec! Thanks for that tidbit on Kew Gardens original Chinese Pagoda.
I have a special interest in Crystal Palace - the old ruin and the modern park - having camping in Caravan Harbour there for many a week a few decades ago - right under one of the BBC transmission towers.
Alec of course got them all correct!
