Discover Croydon
Croydon is a large south London borough that has long been a major business and shopping centre, with a skyline of office towers around East Croydon station. The borough stretches from the town centre to Purley, Coulsdon and Norwood in the south and east, with a mix of residential neighbourhoods and open downland. Government departments, banks and technology companies have offices in the town, and Fairfield Halls and Boxpark are cultural draws. Mainline rail and the Tramlink network give excellent links north to the City and south to Gatwick. People need to be here for local development and commercial work, and as a base for south London and Surrey. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Croydon, with a single point of contact to handle the arrangements.
