Just north of where most travel guides would tell you to go sit the quiet, lush neighbourhoods of Muswell Hill, Crouch End, and Wood Green. And at their axis is historic exhibition venue and stunning architectural behemoth Alexandra Palace, more commonly known as "Ally Pally" to locals. It's the perfect spot for a sunny day in the gardens or a pop-up space-rave. The grounds are dripping in history: Originally named "Palace of the People", the venue came to embody the best and most illustrious of Victorian architectural vision, and in 1935 came to house the newly established BBC Television Service. Now it invites the public to take in the greenery and explore what's on show.
