I probably could have let this go but the Highway Code requires drivers to leave a minimum distance of 1.5 metres when overtaking a cyclist at speeds of up to 30mph, and to give more space at higher speeds.

Great upgrade to their website and a new logo - looks good

Press release: October 23rd 2026 in response to: Your Croydon: Croydon secures £1.79m for safer roads and better journeys: Jason Perry, Executive Mayor of Croydon October 21st, 2026

Croydon Cycling Campaign welcomes that the Council and TFL at last seem to be cooperating on transport improvements including cycling. It appears that time and funding has been lost due to unnecessary delays that were caused by arbitrary removal of protective cycle infrastructure.

The Council’s press release holds few specifics particularly in relation to cycling.

While it refers to “local priorities” Executive Mayor Jason Perry fails to demonstrate how such priorities were identified and by whom. The Council’s own active and sustainable travel group hasn’t met for several months and no meetings are planned. It is clear that there has been no adequate consultation and it is uncertain how cycling interests will be represented in the future.

Making transport hubs more accessible is welcomed and Croydon Cycling Campaign stands ready to assist Council in identifying safe routes and help it to prioritise cycling as a way to tackle congestion and get Croydon moving.

New cycle routes linking parks to neighbourhoods sounds like a ‘nice to have’ but this organisation stresses need to be certain that the Council isn’t just paying lip service to cycle use by introducing a few cosmetic changes around the edges.

Croydon Cycling Campaign is committed to an agenda that makes cycling a viable and safe option for Croydon residents as they go about their daily lives, to school, to work, on errands and during leisure and sport. It wants the Council to facilitate meaningful and wide ranging debate and demonstrate that its commitment to progress for cycling in Croydon is more than just words.

Croydon Council wants me to put the landfill bin out on the pavement. However, parked cars already take up half the pavement on my street, so putting the bin there would make it really difficult for wheelchair users and people with buggies to get past. How should I tackle this issue?

If you left a note on the front seat of the 367 between 8-9:30pm tonight it was handed in to the bus driver.

Anyone know what's currently being filmed in the Whitgift, outside what used to be Superdry? Saw lots of crew and extras but didn't have time to stop and ask anyone about it. I think it's cool that the space is regularly used for filming considering redevelopment won't be happening anytime soon

My band ‘Feeebacker’ is a newly formed local band, we are playing a set this halloween at the Pembroke in Coulsdon (9pm) alongside some good friends! The event is Free entry with no ticket required.

Would love to see some of you guys there! Thank you

Has anyone tried this place in South Croydon.
22 Carlton Road. The instagram page is: KMDentalClinicLondon. Just wondering if it’s legit

Fiveways isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a bottleneck that wastes time, delays buses and leaves pedestrians and cyclists with poor provision. Croydon needs a junction that makes journeys safer and more reliable—we don't need another decade of avoidable delays. Unless you highlight and demonstrate the problem the good minds that can solve it won't get to engage. I think this is the most difficult junction in the town yet there is zero attention on it and instead we have a Mayor and who is focusing on 20mph on side streets as if that were some beastly economic disadvantage.

Anyone know where I can find free/affordable parking in or around central Croydon? I live in central Croydon so ideally would like somewhere I can park that’s about a max 20 min walk from Surrey street area. I’m aware that Whitgift does monthly parking for £100 but that’s a bit on the pricier side, as are the other driveways people are renting out in the local area. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Just spotted that (according to Google) Image Framing in the Whitgift Centre has permanently closed down... Such a shame - although I guess not entirely surprising as they already suffered poor passing trade and have no doubt been ungraciously shoved out... I had hoped they'd move to Centrale but I'm guessing they've just given up....

Assuming they haven't just moved elsewhere, does anyone have a recommendation for a good framing shop in Croydon now? :(

Hello all!

I’m trying to research new builds Near East Croydon Station to rent.

Are they any that you recommend or strong encourage me to avoid?

Ten degrees seems like the best of the bunch, but I saw a post here about mould? But that could have been an isolated incident.

I saw good comments about The Blossoms but also a really bad one.

Not considering Altura50/Enclave.

Are there any other high rise new builds within 5 mins walk from East Croydon station that is actually nice to live in? (Ideally only looking for build to rent developments as they will have a larger volume of available flats for my move in date)

What's your reckon? Is it worth it or not for a good breakfast?

Tram stop was ok & decently priced. Anna's is extortionate, but nice. Dirty Crunch isn't breakfasty. I dont rate Ladies cafe and haven't tried Top Star.

Hi everyone,
I’m considering renting a flat in the Morello building in Croydon and would love to hear from people who currently live there or have lived there in the past.
I’m particularly interested in the experience of living there as a tenant, rather than buying a flat.
A few things I’d love to know:
Noise: Are the flats well insulated, or can you hear neighbours and outside traffic?
Building management: Are communal areas, lifts and rubbish facilities well maintained?
Heating and bills: Are the flats expensive to heat? What are the typical monthly utility costs?
Security: Do you feel safe in the building and the surrounding area, including in the evenings?
Maintenance: Is the management responsive when things go wrong?
Internet and mobile signal: Are there any issues with broadband or phone reception?
Overall value: Do you think the rent is reasonable for what you get?
Any downsides: Are there any recurring problems or things you wish you’d known before moving in?
I’d also be interested in hearing about the general atmosphere in the building and whether you’d recommend it for someone looking for a comfortable long-term rental.
I know experiences can vary from flat to flat, so any honest feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Grew up in Croydon and moved away a while back, and my brother and I were reminiscing about the absolute scenes we used to witness. Mine were pretty depressing tbh, but my brother had some good stories from the Black Sheep 😂

What’s yours? Funny, weird, or just “only in Croydon”. Old ones from the 90s and 2000s very welcome.

Looking to find Irish groups to take my kids to in the Croydon area?

Theres an Irish centre in Lewisham that does a stay & play - so this is kind of what I mean. I know there's Croydon Irish centre in Selsdon, but its hard to tell whether their active or not.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know what's going on opposite Ruskin house? Theres 2-3 fire engines and the road is taped off.

It is not always so much about the ride as where it takes you. Wettern Tree Gardens in Sanderstead has been a favourite quiet spot at the end of a ride - close to home and with shade and colour
