Embedded in the London Borough of Croydon, this town began as an ancient parish in the fertile Wallington hundred of Surrey. During the Middle Ages, Croydon blossomed into a centre for charcoal production, leather tanning, and brewing. It later evolved into a prominent industrial area known for car manufacture, metalworking and hosting the illustrious Croydon Airport during the 20th century. Today, its retail and service economy, along with an offer of diverse accommodation options, make it an appealing destination for travellers.

This town took its name from the Anglo-Saxon words "croh" and "denu", hinting at a history of saffron cultivation. Delivering on its historical promise, it is a hub of culture and heritage. Sites such as the noble Croydon Palace, the Grade I listed Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, and historical markets offer visitors a chance to travel back in time. As the only southern town to boast a tramway system, Croydon wonderfully combines traditional allure with modern convenience.
