Croydon is a town in London. Known to some as the "Dallas of the South" due to the density of shiny glass and steel high rise office blocks.
Croydon boasts a tram network, which runs from Beckenham through Croydon to Wimbledon. Despite this relatively new system however the area can often feel somewhat run down and lacking in investment.
Get in
It is worth noting that Croydon is not linked to the tube network, despite its relative proximity to Central London. However, overground trains run into Victoria or London Bridge stations in about 20 minutes, or trams can be used to reach the Underground in Wimbledon.
See
Because it was heavily bombed in WW2, Croydon features a patchwork of old and new architecture.
Buy
Croydon has large shopping precinct featuring all the major chain stores. It is also home to the Fairfield Halls, one of the major entertainment centres in London despite a relatively low profile. Music lovers may also find it worth seeking out "Beano's", a second-hand CD and LP store with kitsch, cool styling which claims to be the largest in Europe.
