About Catford

Known for

The giant fibreglass cat (the famous Catford Shopping Centre cat statue), Broadway Theatre, Mountsfield Park, and an increasingly gentrifying South East London neighbourhood with a strong multicultural community

A little history

Catford developed as a Victorian suburb along the railway line. The giant fibreglass cat above the Catford Shopping Centre — installed in 1974 — became one of South London's most beloved and eccentric landmarks. The area has a strong Caribbean, West African and South Asian community.

Local tip

The giant cat is worth a look — genuinely iconic South London folk art. Broadway Theatre for surprisingly good productions. Mountsfield Park for a beautiful Victorian park. The food market on weekends for diverse street food.
