Why Move to Croydon?
Why not? This London town has managed to shake off its boring grey reputation and has emerged as an upcoming trendy location with tons of appeal.
Croydon enjoys an extensive shopping district and an extremely busy night-time economy.
In fact, in recent years, it has expanded at a very rapid rate with hundreds of new properties being built and a revitalised business sector.
Being in Zone 5 means that it is just a 20-minute hop into central London. Plenty of city workers have already chosen to call Croydon home with the added bonus of providing properties with lower price tags when compared to the City.
Getting around is via several means, including Croydon Tramlink. An 18½-mile light rail network providing services to Croydon, and its surrounding areas.
Family-friendly, Croydon has some very nice green spaces with South Norwood Country Park, and Lloyd Park being firm favourites.
These lovely places are ideal for a bike ride, exercising or burning off the little one’s excess energy.
The area has a surprisingly large number of golf courses. There are six to choose from located within a mile or two of the town centre.
Croydon has developed as an important hub for shopping in the area and is home to Centrale shopping centre.
One of the largest covered retail developments in London offering a diverse selection of shops and restaurants.
To complement the modern shops, the town has one of the oldest fruits and veg markets in London and is still going strong. A good old-fashioned piece of traditional city culture.
Croydon is one of those towns which strikes up a perfect work/life balance no matter what your personal circumstances.
Whether you have got a family, living alone, retired or a student there’s always something new to discover in this exciting South London borough.
Croydon Schools & Education
Parents new to the area will find a very diverse choice when it comes to education, from state, independent, religiously affiliated, and special schools, Croydon covers all aspects.
Well known for its Further Education provision, Croydon College is the only FE college to have been awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.
It was also the first to be awarded UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools Award accreditation, the highest accolade awarded by UNICEF UK.
The fantastic BRIT School is a leading Performing & Creative Arts school in the UK and is also a popular choice.
Its past students include Leona Lewis, Jessie J, Amy Winehouse, and Adele.
Most of the town’s primary schools have been rated as “good” by Ofsted with Stewart Fleming Primary School and St John’s CofE Primary School having been rated as “outstanding”.
There are plenty of highly regarded secondaries and Coloma Convent Girls’ School is among one of the best. A comprehensive school located on the outskirts of town Ofsted has awarded it with an “outstanding” rating.
Things to Do in Croydon
Living in Croydon means you are never short of something to do. Here is a little information about some of the places you can visit across the borough:
At Lloyd Park, off Coombe Road, you can have something to eat at the Park Life Community Café. The park also has a disc golf course, a playground, an outdoor gym, a small pond, and football pitches for hire.
Alternatively, Norwood Country Park is another wonderful outdoor space to explore. It has a wetland and lake, wildflower meadows, a children’s playground and running through the park is a cycle path.
Croydon is known for its restaurants and cocktail bars and there are plenty of pubs and clubs in the town centre, attracting many young people from the surrounding region.
London Croydon Airport was once Britain’s first major international airport to honour this accolade, the Croydon Airport Visitor Centre opened in 2000.
It was the winner of a British Tourism Award. Exhibition space includes displays located in the world’s oldest Air Traffic Control Tower in Airport House.
The 14-mile Wandle Trail follows the route of the River Wandle from Croydon to the Thames at Wandsworth. It allows you to enjoy the heritage, flora, and fauna of this typical chalk stream in the heart of some of south London’s most industrialised landscape.
The historical Croydon Minster is steeped in history, it is the resting place for six Archbishops of Canterbury.
You can call in on any day of the year, except Thursdays, to look around for free and during Heritage Open Weekend in June the church organises tours which will take you up the 125-foot tower to the bell room and clock.
Croydon Property
Although the town was once full of old sixties-style properties, much-needed re-generation has led to an abundance of newer more modern homes now being available.
There is a home to suit all in Croydon. Some prefer to be in the hustle and bustle of city life and others love to lead a more chilled-out lifestyle.
The ideal work/life balance is just right in Croydon. This is what makes Croydon so appealing.
The town’s affordable housing prices make it a magnet for both students attending many of London’s colleges and universities and for young couples who are starting families and require more green space.
Most local estate agents would agree that property values are reasonable given Croydon’s location.
Homes here sell just over the average for the UK so buying in Croydon and commuting to work in London makes financial sense.
Plus, ongoing investment into the area ensures that Croydon’s property outlook is only going to improve.
