Addiscombe Railway Park

Addiscombe Railway Park is a linear park built on former railway land in the London Borough of Croydon. The space stretches between East India Way and Blackhorse Lane tram stop and features walking paths and green areas throughout.

The site was part of a railway line until 1997 when train services stopped running through this section. After the railway closed, the land was transformed into a park with paths and green spaces.

Local residents have shaped the space through environmental projects, adding many plants that provide homes for native animals. This involvement shows how people in the neighborhood view it as an important part of their community.

The park has multiple entrances from different streets and the tram station, making it easy to access from various directions. The well-laid paths are easy to walk and connect the different areas throughout the site.

Parts of the original railway sleepers were recovered during the site transformation and now serve as signage and information markers. These artifacts remind visitors daily of the location's railway past.
