Parking in Croydon

As this suburb is only a short journey into London, Croydon is very popular and has plenty on offer, such as Fairfields Hall, for theatre and concerts, and Croydon Minster. Also in Croydon are the large shopping centres Centrale and Whitgift Centre.

Croydon takes its name from Crogdene, given by Saxon settlers in the 8th century, though the area had been inhabited since prehistoric times. It grew as a prosperous market town known for charcoal production, leather tanning and brewing. Croydon later became an important transport hub, home to the world’s first public railway in 1803 and, in the early 20th century, a centre of industry and aviation with its aerodrome serving as London’s main airport before Gatwick and Heathrow. Heavy bomb damage during World War II led to major redevelopment in the 1950s–60s, including new offices and the Whitgift shopping centre.

Today, Croydon offers extensive shopping at the Whitgift Centre and Centrale, alongside a lively cultural scene with pubs, bars, galleries and emerging creative hubs such as Matthew’s Yard and the Spread Eagle Theatre. Fairfield Halls remains one of South London’s leading entertainment venues, while nearby South End is known for its competitive restaurant scene.
