The Location

The second largest of London’s boroughs, Croydon offers affordable housing with good transport links into the centre of London and out to nearby Surrey and the South Coast.

The attractive house prices make this exciting South London borough a great choice for families.

The History of Croydon

Croydon was an old Surrey market town on the road between London and Brighton prior to the 19th century, from which it became a highly popular suburb following the development of London's transportation network.

Living in Croydon

The Boxpark development – with its bars, restaurants, and event spaces - has redefined the town centre making it a hotspot for foodies, drawing attention from across the capital. The wider Croydon area offers some of the biggest names in leisure and retail as well as a large number of businesses enjoying the new office spaces, fantastic transport links, and local talent.

The area is well connected with fast overground trains in from East Croydon to both London Bridge, and Victoria, making this a popular destination for those looking to live away from the more expensive inner-city boroughs. And with easy access to Gatwick Airport, Croydon is also very attractive to those with busy international travel schedules. Being only 30 minutes from central London - and home to an impressive 42 rail and tram links for residents and commuters to choose from - this vibrant, bustling town offers all the benefits of living in London without the high costs.
