On a lofty site in North London sits Alexandra Palace, a Victorian-era entertainment & sports venue still in use today. The first palace burned down only 16 days after its debut; it was immediately rebuilt, opening in 1875. In the 1930's, part of the palace was acquired by the BBC as the production and transmission center for their new BBC Television service.
