On one of our usual strolls in Victoria Recreation Park in New Barnet, we suddenly hit on a great idea for the huge gas container that has been on the north-west corner for many years. As far as we know there are plans to preserve this wonderful piece of industrial architecture for future generations, even though the gas supply has long since ceased. Why not convert it to a bouncy castle with a climbing wall around the outside for access? The kids would love it, it might bring in tourists and the structure could be preserved almost as it is (except for some paint to spruce it up a bit).
