Engrained in Croydon's history and open 6 days a week, you can pick up produce from pretty much any part of the world and it is also very cheap! My mum who still lives in Croydon is a fan of 3 bunches of bananas for only £1!

Stuffins Unlimited

Stuffins Unlimited

A sandwich deli right in the heart of Croydon. The menu is different every day and the prices are great for the amount you get.

Khyber

Khyber

One of, if not the best Indian restaurant in Croydon. It has a wide variety of dishes on the menu, including game curries. The food is delicious and portions are perfectly sized to keep you full - but not to the point of bursting.

The Portland Arms

The Portland Arms

Really good selection of beers/ales and some good wine... Chicken burger is great, too.

Blue and Orange

Blue and Orange

A great restaurant - it's definitely my favourite in Thornton Heath!

An excellent recently opened coffee shop in South Norwood with a relaxed atmosphere, serving brilliant coffee, cakes and lunch.

Shelverdine Goathouse

Shelverdine Goathouse

A charming and homely pub with a good vibe. There are different bar areas each with its own character. Good selection of keg and cask ales and a open kitchen serving good, reasonably priced food. The staff are very friendly and the service good. It has a quiz night on Mondays, compered by a charming and entertaining quiz master.

The Sun Pub

The Sun Pub

Located next to the Carshalton Ponds, their menu offers fresh seasonal food. The pub has a great, relaxed atmosphere, and is independently run.

Beddington Park

A picturesque wooded parkland rich with historic background.

Why not explore the nearby areas of Croydon, Waddon, Thornton Heath, South Croydon, Shirley Oaks, Wallington, Hackbridge, Norbury, Elmers End and Carshalton

"Poet and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived in Dagnell Park, South Norwood, SE25."

Sometimes when I visit the waterfall in Grove Park, it's hard to believe that it is in London!

Croydon and surrounding areas quote

Thomas Lebbern

No longer in use, Croydon Airport was once a major international airport that now houses a visitor centre.

Ashley Whitehouse

Mitcham Common is a beautiful area to explore and one that I love taking the dog to when the weather's nice.
