Woodside Green, Green space in Woodside, London Borough of Croydon, England.
Woodside Green is a public green space in Croydon featuring large mature Plane trees with wooden benches positioned beneath their canopies. The area spans several sections with plenty of shade provided by the old trees.
The earliest known mention appears in a 1662 document describing land on a green with this name. In 1871 the land was officially transferred to Croydon's local authority to serve as a public recreational space.
The green serves as a gathering place where neighbors meet and children play beneath the old trees. The mature Plane trees create a natural frame for everyday social moments and casual encounters throughout the day.
The green is easily accessible from several sides and sits near the Woodside tram stop. Public transport connections make it straightforward to reach this space.
At the center sits a stone water trough where travelers once watered their animals during journeys through the area. This old structure quietly marks the place's past and often draws the attention of observant visitors.
