Thanks, I have often craned my neck over the parapet hoping for a good view but I didn't realise quite what I was missing. I suppose if Boris's Chinese friends ever get to build their plastic palace on the site of the old Crystal Palace the subway is more likely to be reopened but at what price?

Laudable that the Friends would want to use it as an arts space but to be honest I think it would make a fabulous bar and a perfect place to end up after a walk round the park.
