London Borough of Croydon

The London Borough of Croydon extends over 87 square kilometers and contains multiple urban centers including Coulsdon, Purley, South Norwood, and Thornton Heath.

Created on April 1, 1965, the borough formed through the merger of the County Borough of Croydon with Coulsdon and Purley Urban District, previously part of Surrey.

The Fairfield Halls arts center and Croydon Clocktower complex contain performance spaces, a cinema, museum, and library that support local cultural activities.

East Croydon railway station functions as a primary transport hub, connecting the area to central London and southern England through national rail services.

The Croydon Vision 2020 regeneration project transforms the district with new commercial developments and infrastructure improvements to establish it as London's third major center.
