There's a great choice of stores in The Whitgift Centre!
Submitted by Grant
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.

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.

Next door to East Croydon Station sits over 30 shipping containers with a variety of food and drink. Some of the biggest names such as Meat Liquor and The Breakfast Club have outlets.

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!

Serving the best food from the motherland, Ghana! The jollof rice served with domedo (seasoned and spiced pork) is to die for... It reminds me of mummy's cooking!

Atmospheric, quirky venue (which is now a bistro) within a small yet perfect park.

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.

Like having the countryside on your doorstep, it is a great place for a bike ride or a dog walk.

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

Cute little place with the biggest selection of craft beers I've found in ages.

I have lived here all my life and I love Croydon because it has great transport links that allow you to get to central London in less than half an hour, as well as being so close to the Surrey countryside. It's like having the best of both worlds.

Croydon is back on trend. Not only is it the discovery place of fashion's darlings, Moss and Campbell, but it's perfectly positioned with great transport links in and out of London, especially for those quick getaways via Gatwick. Croydon has had polarising press in the past, however new, affordable developments in the area have brought in excitement and with it the balance of family and professional silhouettes. It also boasts one of the oldest markets to date (Surrey St. Market) and is planted with energetic green parks (e.g. Lloyd's Park). Finally, the investment of Westfield shopping centre will position Croydon to lead amongst other fashion forward towns.

I have lived in South Croydon for 10 years. There are great transport links, lovely restaurants and decent pubs/bars. You are also not too far from the countryside and only 15-20 mins to Victoria and London Bridge. It's much more affordable than central London. I personally wouldn't live anywhere else right now!

One of Greater London’s largest commercial centres, Croydon is a bustling town on a transport corridor between Central London and England’s south coast. Croydon is 9.4 miles (15.1 km) south of Charing Cross and has good transport links. The town is known for its extensive shopping district including high street shops, shopping centres, and street markets, and for its night-time economy. You’ll find all the amenities you need for modern living, such as restaurants and pubs, sport and recreation facilities, concert halls and cinemas, a good selection of schools, and several parks and golf courses.
