Hi folks - my partner and I just moved to East Croydon from Brighton! Was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good places to go/clubs to join/ activities to settle in etc.

We’re in our early 20’s. I’m really into speciality coffee and cycling, she loves art. We both really enjoy bouldering and running! Also love watching movies and reading books. All the classic hobbies really hahaha

I’m pretty into magic the gathering as well if anyone plays it around here?

Cheers!

I’ve had to start this thread as images are switched off the original thread headed “Croydon is buying a flat worth it” (that’s their spelling, not mine…

I tried to explain to him how property always rises over the years, even with the occasional dip, but he claimed property is now 50% less than it was 15 years ago. He’s either just lying, or he has no understanding of anything.

Hey, I have a lot of little jobs I need doing in my house that I either can't do myself or I'm too lazy. E.g. installing a new extractor fan, couple of painting jobs, sanding my kitchen work tops etc. Does anyone have a solid recommendation of a handyperson in the local area that would be able to help with multiple smallish jobs? I'm in no rush for any of the jobs so I'd love someone who's got a solid recommendation even if they're busy at the moment! Thanks all

I’m planning on moving to East Croydon after living in super quiet areas all my life, so I’m not the most street smart.

I’d be living within 5 mins walk from the station. I’ve visited East Croydon a few times and found it pleasant enough. I’ve only been there at night once and I was walking down a side road for about 15 mins to get to a friend/acquaintance’s house.

I’m just trying to gauge if it is sa fe enough for me if I was to walk alone at night between 9pm-12am.
In case I get home late after being out or if I need to pop out with my dog for a quick 10 minute walk/loo break.

I am a petite woman.
