The Grade I listed dinosaurs that live in Crystal Palace Park have been removed from Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register after a multi-million pound regeneration project.
The Victorian sculptures had become cracked and broken following their installation 172 years ago, and risked losing toes, teeth and tails unless they were saved.
Bromley Council used £22m from the sale of nearby land to fund the project, which included improvements across the park. The National Lottery Heritage Fund contributed £5m.
Crystal Palace Park Trust, which co-delivered the project, said the dinosaurs had been restored to their “former glory”, and now looked how they did to the Victorians in 1854.
