I actually enjoyed Croydon, met some nice people at the pub. I also enjoyed eating chicken at one of the many chicken places and watching people coming back from the club

5/5 - Excellent

Paddy

I love Croydon very much. Don't get me wrong. It is a quiet neighbourbood. It is so easy to get here from London Gatwick airport by train. Boxpark is my favourite place to hang out!

2/5 - Disappointing

MT

Croydon is extremely dirty, food and rubbish thrown all over the place, people come out of shops and just throw anything on the ground.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Just get out there and explore enjoy boxpark (food), the open market (fresh fruits & vegetables etc), the underground railway, the double-decker buses. Too much to see all at once but enough to make your trip memorable just don't stay inside get out

4/5 - Good
