About Croydon

Known for

The birthplace of the airport era (Croydon Airport was London's first international airport), the Box Park (the UK's first pop-up shopping mall), the diverse food scene, the Fairfield Halls, and London's most dynamic and culturally diverse outer borough

A little history

Croydon Airport was London's first international airport (1920-1959) — the departure point for Amy Johnson's record-breaking flights. The town has a remarkably diverse population and has become one of London's most interesting cultural destinations. The High Street Art project has transformed the town centre.

Local tip

Box Park Croydon is excellent for diverse independent food. The Museum of Croydon is free and excellent. Fairfield Halls for major concerts. The High Street murals and public art. Surrey Street Market for produce.
