Is this the Crystal Palace in London? I have heard there's someone trying to rebuild it as a Hotel and Swimming Pool

Such a shame though that it's reduced to this D:

Thank you

I'm not sure why this is shot is popular with people. It's the parts that are left, are just left to rot. It's why I help on Sundays clearing/excavating the remains of the aquarium and the north tower.

I'm sorry for this stupid question but... it's The Crystal Palace of London, which burned in 1936?

The steps are part of the terraces that were part of the Italian Gardens of the park. Most of the stairs however were pulled up in the late 1950s\early 1960s for scrap.

Here is an aerial photo of the palace and Italian gardens. I have circled the steps in the photo:
