In Victorian times, the Paxton Arms was well-placed to take advantage of the large number of visitors to the Crystal Palace, but following the fire of 1936 in which the Palace burned down, succeeded by the Second World War, most of this trade disappeared, so that the establishment now survives just as a pub, albeit also serving food. The name commemorates Joseph Paxton, the architect of the Crystal Palace.
