Crystal Palace Park Centenary Maze
Girlguiding UK officially opened the Maze in Crystal Palace Park
at 2pm on Saturday 5 September. The historic Maze has been
completely renovated and redesigned by the organisation to mark the
launch of its Centenary celebrations. The project has been
undertaken in partnership with the London Borough of Bromley with
support from the London Development Agency, and the Maze is now
open to the public.
There are important historical connections between the Girl Guides
and Crystal Palace Park, because it was at a Scouts’ Rally in the
park on 4 September 1909 that a small group of girls dared to
attend and approach Sir Robert Baden-Powell, requesting that he set
up ‘something for the girls’. Baden-Powell founded the Girl Guides
a few months later.
Opening
The Maze is free to all visitors and is open during normal park
hours. There is plenty of parking including parking for
coaches.
Crystal Palace Park is well served by public transport with
links to several London mainline stations and various bus
routes.
Please check out TFL Journey Planner for full
details.
Badges for the Maze are available from the Girlguiding UK online
shop.
Please note: The cloth maze badge
is temporarily unavailable but will be available again in
early January. Please check the online shop.
