Welcome to Time Stands Still, a locative audio experience exploring the period between 1915 and 1919 when Alexandra Palace became an internment camp to 3,000 German, Austrian and Hungarian civilians living in the UK when WWI broke out.

The title Time Stands Still is quoted from the memoir of Paul Cohen Portheim who was interned at Alexandra Palace:

"We lost all count, all sensation of time. Time stands still where there is no aim, no object, no sense. There is no time. One gives in, one surrenders, one's will is broken. Such monotony is a state very near death."

Time Stands Still is an audio experience in which you become a visitor to the camp 100 years ago, a witness to the experiences of the men imprisoned in the People’s Palace. Time Stands Still combines the prisoner's words with poems and soundscapes. As you move around the park you will hear the experiences of those interned, the wives who visited, and the British military that held them.

Time Stands Still is suitable for education programmes as well as the general public.

Time Stands Still tells just one of the extraordinary tales of Alexandra Palace, there is more!

Did you know that Alexandra Palace is a registered charity? We need to raise the final £1million to open the most historic and currently derelict eastern end of the Palace to support a £26m project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Haringey Council.
