The 30 Best Park in Croydon

“I came to see Poppy Simkins for a very advanced fungal infection on my big toe. I was feeling embarrassed and extremely uncomfortable about it, but from the moment I walked in, she made me feel at ease. Poppy was kind, non-judgmental, and spoke to me with real compassion. I haven’t even started the treatment yet, but I already feel confident that I’m in the right hands. I was really anxious before the appointment, but she completely reassured me. I can’t recommend her enough — a truly professional and understanding podiatrist. I will come back when I will have done these traitmentb”

“Matt & Bev were the perfect hosts. Hospitable, warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The crumpets were divine, the room was absolutely beautiful, and the location could not have been better. Just minutes on foot to the Lloyd Park tram station. I can not rave about this beautiful B&B, or the hosts, enough.”

“There’s no need to describe the taste — just try it and see for yourself. The flavor is truly excellent! Plus, the place is very clean, hygienic, and the staff are wonderfully friendly. Definitely number one.””

“I recently had my car repaired at P D Motors and can honestly say it was a great experience. Paul is very knowledgeable about what he does, and carried out all works perfectly. My car feels amazing, and is back to being a pleasure to drive. Thanks again for everything.”

“I thought I’d share my thoughts following my third (and longest) stay at Latitude. I got to know about the apartment block through friends who recognise that I needed a longer-term solution for staying in London for my work. My main home is in Spain. However I’m frequently in London so I decided that I would take a longer term lease. The apartment is perfect for me, from its positioning, (close enough to the station and town), to its general physical appointment. It’s in beautiful condition and if ever there have been tiny inevitable niggles the apartments management have pretty much fixed them there and then on the day that help was required. I find everybody associated with the building to be really pleasant and helpful. I can’t recommend this place any higher.”

“Alexander was amazing, he really spent a lot of time and care on my teeth and showed a genuine care for my oral health. The best hygienist I have used so far and plan on definitely coming back. Would highly recommend! Thank you to the receptionist aswell for being very accommodating.”

“Extremely helpful always happy to go the extra mile”

“My second tattoo from this studio. Very happy with the detail to hygiene and extremely happy with my tattoo. Price very good as well. Will only use this studio for the next one I get.”

“This gem of a park, located a few blocks south of East Croydon Station, is situated on a beautifully landscaped grassy hillside that slopes gradually upwards as one walks through the park away from the station. The roughly rectangular open space that comprises the park is punctuated by mainly old-growth trees that line the paved walkways and are interspersed among the adjacent lawns. There are plenty of robust park benches along the main paths, inside the Walled Garden and adjacent to the park's southern perimeter, where there are decent views of Croydon's skyline, such as it is. Facilities within the park include swings, tennis courts, and basketball courts. No cafes are currently open onsite. Towards the summit of the slope stands a landmark, the Old Water Tower, which is not open to visitors. An adjacent path leads to a residential area through which one can easily walk downhill to Lloyd Park via mostly quiet side streets and several off road pedestrian paths.”

“Absolute Brilliance of a food restaurant. Ive been going to Krunk for a few years and everytime i have Krunk it never disappoints. The price is cheap and the food is worth it. Staff is very nice and keeps you entertained whilst you wait for your food. The Environment of Krunk is very colourful and happy with graffiti and marvel references everywhere. Overall Krunk is a must visit and all the other reviews are just trying to bring Krunk down.”

“Today was the first time going to this shop. My daughter and I popped in and was amazed by the selection of clothing and the brilliant prices! I had to purchase some nice trainers for my daughter! Honestly great quality and nice service. Definitely shopping there again.”

“It was a sunny Sunday when I visited here. The atmosphere was amazing. Polite and welcoming staff. Good quality food, freshly cooked on site and reasonably priced. Great coffee too. Will definitely recommend and visit again. Have facilities at the back.”

“The Volvo team at Croydon has been absolutely amazing—especially Hannah, who is truly an asset to the company. I booked my Volvo XC90 in for a full service and a health check. The car passed the health check, apart from an issue with the ERAD system, which I understand is a common problem. I’m hopeful that Volvo will assist with the cost of this repair. The pricing was reasonable overall. My vehicle also had a recall related to the battery, and unfortunately, it failed. Hannah promptly informed me that the battery would be replaced under the recall scheme at no cost, which was a relief. Since I rely on the car for school drop-offs and daily commuting, Hannah kindly arranged a courtesy car for me. Another impressive touch was the video link they sent, showing a detailed inspection of my car and outlining any necessary work—very professional. I will definitely continue servicing my car at this location. The team is honest, straightforward, and never pushy—just genuine people providing great service. I’m happy to recommend them. Keep up the amazing work you guys do”

“A lovely park not too far from beckenham High Street. We went to see the restored bandstand (Bowies bandstand!). It is an incredible restoration job, and it is so nice to see the paving around includes bricks in memory of someone or just for loved ones. This park is also the place where the first airmail service started - 1902 I think! As others say, it would be good to have better toilet facilities, and a coffee kiosk would be good.”

“This is an absolutely fabulous park in Norwood. There are beautiful open spaces to walk your dog and lovely paths under trees. There is a huge lake which is home to many birds and wildlife. Very relaxing part of London. Can’t recommend enough to spend some time walking here and it is surprisingly quiet.”

“This spot is in a perfect location and tick all the boxed : Perfect outside sitting between the trees, super friendly service and good coffee, fairly priced!”

“Friendly local pub with a good menu and plenty of seating. Lots of outdoor space too in their lovely garden. Various events such as bands, BBQs, quiz nights to cater to all tastes.”

“We had a fantastic experience. We went in without any knowledge of floors and by the time we walked out, Priscilla Krishnan made sure we knew everything. We were really impressed with the way she explained things patiently and her regular follow ups to ensure we were on track. It took us a good few months to order due to issues with our construction, but when the time came we went back to the store and placed the order with her. The delivery came on time with no issues. The product is very good and I'll recommend this to anyone.”

“Great furniture store and cafe. We had to return some furniture as we ordered the wrong item our mistake. The return process was easy you just enter a code then go to a till 40 seconds and it was all done. We then headed upstairs to try the cafe, it was breakfast time so that's what we had I tried the £2.99 vegetarian breakfast it was delicious the coffee tasted good also. For the price and quality it without a doubt its a great breakfast stop. Someone on the reviews said on their visit the cafe was dirty, on my visit I found the cafe area spotless and fresh throughout. My appreciation to the cleaning staff thanks. After that we headed through the store again I really enjoyed it I found no faults whatsoever. Disabled access is brilliant throughout. My only concern was all the staff we encountered were very unhappy and non engaging without any exceptions such a shame, perhaps its not a good place to work maybe.”

“Calvin at Dreams Croydon was a very pleasant young man, when we went into the store on Friday to purchase a new bed and mattress. He offered us a drink and made us feel very welcoming. He dedicated lots of his time in making sure we tried the mattress and pillows. Very helpful and very polite. Will highly recommend Dreams.”

“Really fun playground for kids and lovely park”

“Peaceful.. quite.. good place to walk dogs and sit and enjoy the nature”

“Had a really lovely experience at Wagamama over the weekend. I was having a rare child-free day and was on FaceTime with my mother who lives abroad, and my server, Fatima, was just wonderful. She helped me choose the pork belly ramen - something I’d never tried before - and it was absolutely the right choice: comforting, flavourful, and perfect for the cold weather. Fatima was genuinely warm and personable, and even took a moment to be sweet and engaging with my mom on FaceTime. It was such a small gesture, but it made the whole experience feel really human and memorable. Service like that is exactly why I keep coming back to Wagamama. Fatima is a real credit to the team, and her warmth made the whole visit feel extra special.”

“This restaurant is superb. Everything is homemade, even the chilli and garlic sauces, and the meat is wonderfully spiced and flavoursome. It is family run and operated and the pride that goes into the food and service is apparent. I would not hesitate to dine here again and to recommend this place to friends and family.”

“Really good store and the staff is really kind specially Syed He is to kind and helpfull to the customers.”

“I want to thank practice nurse Persis from Valley Park Surgery and greatly recommend that other patients try to ask to see her if possible. I had an appointment for a blood test this morning and was attended by her. She was very professional and friendly and was super efficient in her work. had countless blood test experiences in the past where some nurses would fumble for many long minutes to find the correct vein on my arm but Persis managed it on first try. It was simply a matter of applying sterilisation swipe, insert needle, and draw away. The whole process did not feel like it took more than an entire minute. So amazingly efficient! To me, what separated Persis from many other nurses I have seen in different GP surgeries in the past was that she was very thorough. She had clearly reviewed my medical records before seeing me and knew that I had yet to book an appointment for another test that was overdue so she offered to do that test for me since I was already there. And again, she was so skilled and efficient. A minute or two later, it was done! Amazing! Honestly it would have taken me more time to try to book an appointment online than having the test done by Persis! Thank you so much Persis! You exemplified what an excellent medical staff should be not through your words but through your actions.❤️”

“I stayed here for a week and it was great, the apartment was spacious, there is free wifi heating and it's a 10 minute walk from East Croydon Station.”

“Ashburton park is pretty spacious, with loads of greenery. There is a tennis court, which you have to pay for, a kids playground, and a basketball court. Seems like a good area for picnics and every other school holiday there is a funfair.”

“I’m a regular customer at Domino’s and I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed. The shop is always spotless and beautifully kept, and the staff are absolutely lovely—so helpful and welcoming every single time. They always greet me with the biggest smile, which really makes a difference. As for the pizzas? Perfect, every time. Hot, fresh, and delicious. Couldn’t ask for better service or food. Highly recommend!”

“IKEA, love this place, I could happily spend the day browsing around the numerous merchandise and fabulous displays. Only problem is when you reach the checkouts, queues and not enough self-service tills open. But I got what I want and will return.”
