This building with its surrounding park was built in 1873 as recreation area for the public, but burnt down already 16 days later. In May 1875, less than 2 years after the destruction of the original building, a new Palace opened.
The worlds first regular high definition television service was inaugurated there in 1936 by the BBC.
I have been there a lot of times when I was visiting London, one has a fantastic view over Hornsey and Crouch End down to Central London. Take a look at this map too.
There is a nice walk from Ally Pally on the former railway track down to Finsbury Park, check pics of that walk here.
