Relaxing in Croydon

“I can highly recommend the back in shape clinic. I have had a back problem for the last 3 years which has prevented me from enjoying my usual activities After seeing various specialists I thought I would give these guys a try. My physiotherapist Anthony has been excellent. From day 1 he has explained everything clearly and precisely. His assessment and treatment of my issue has been exceptional. I am now starting to make good progress and am much more positive about my recovery. Thanks very much.”

“Came after work so quite late but the guy inside, Hamid, was really kind. I didn’t give a really good description what hairstyle I want to have, but even without a description he absolutely nailed it and I love the style he cutted. I will definitely come again and can highly recommend to everyone.”

“I've been a loyal customer for almost 4 years now and this is hands down the best barber shop I've been to. I've never had a bad haircut or beard trim here and, even if I moved away from the area, I would make the effort to come here everytime I need a trim.”

“Had a lovely experience with Window To Womb Croydon. Have been here for several scans now and each time has been really great. All staff are really kind and attentive and they have helped rearrange appointments numerous times for me. Thank you so much. I really recommend.”

“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”

“I had severe lower back pain and I had an acupuncture from Sachiko. She approached so gentle and kind. After treatment my pain much much reduced. She is amazing. Thank you”

“I had a fantastic experience with Dental Beauty. Shailen has carried out multiple procedures for me recently, including a crown and white fillings and has been very professional on all occasions. Nadiia was a also a fantastic dental nurse and always made sure I was doing fine. This was a fantastic treatment all around.”

“I came to see Olivia for my hip and side pain. Olivia was professional, consultative and holistic in her approach - which I value. She worked on me effectively and essentially took away pain I didnt know that I had. I have referred family members to her and will be back soon.”

“So happy to have found a lovely boarding centre where we know our rabbit Harley will be well looked after when we're away. Lorraine clearly cares a great deal about the animals staying with her and we really appreciated that Lorraine shared a photo of Harley on the Now Boarding Croydon Facebook page while we were on holiday so we could see how he was getting on. Would highly recommend!”

“In the heart of Croydon, a Sri Lankan restaurant, from the outside it did not suggest anything good, in reality, a really charming, clean and well-kept restaurant. short waiting times. GREAT FOOD really tasty. reasonable prices. Really courteous staff also very friendly manger. bathrooms clean and well maintained. if you are in the area I recommend it. great! Also plates are really nice with sun and moon.”

“The staff at the salon are always so welcoming and friendly from the moment you walk in. They create such a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients. I’ve had my eyebrows and pedicure done here multiple times, and each visit has been a great experience. They always take their time to make sure everything looks perfect and that I’m completely happy before I leave. If there’s ever anything that needs a small touch up or adjustment, they’re more than happy to fix it with a smile. It’s always a pleasure coming here the whole team is professional, kind, and really dedicated to great service.”

“Really happy customer. Charlie was brilliant, discussing what I wanted; I'm lazy and just wash and go. She explained what the cut would look like in view of my hair type and what I would need to do to maintain it e.g. how to control fly away hair and how to style it with a brush and hairdryer. I booked an hour before by phone, so was nervous as I've never been here before but she put me at ease, as did the others on reception. A fabulous place, I will definitely be returning. Thanks Charlie, you did what I asked and more. Also thanks for the Xmas special hot chocolate! A very pleasant experience overall.”

“Best local barber! Polite and excellent service!”

“I’ve been going for laser hair removal sessions, and Bhumika has done my treatments several times. She’s always professional, friendly, and makes me feel completely comfortable. The results are amazing every time, and I really appreciate her attention to detail and care.”

“Great place if you want to have a quick sandwich, salad or a wrap. The service is excellent and you have plenty of options to customise your food. Also, the place has seating inside and the vegetables & meat they use look really fresh. You should definitely give this place a try next time you are around.”

“Great shop, two guys working are always so helpful and happy to help (sorry I don’t actually know their names)”

“Navaratna never disappoints! The chilli idly is absolutely amazing—bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. The dosa is equally enjoyable, and the menu offers a fantastic variety of options to choose from. Always a pleasure to visit this kind, family-run, award-winning restaurant. The food is consistently wholesome and delicious. Looking forward to the next visit!”

“Lovely staff and owner in here. The food is great value, fresh and tasty. The coffee is great too.”

“I lived in the round the corner for twenty years and only just tried this place. It was a great breakfast with the best toast in the area, wish I'd started going sooner.”

“Went here last Thursday as heard they did a good quiz night. Had a burger and a couple of pints of Guinness zero; burger was top notch, proper gourmet stuff and we really enjoyed the quiz, we somehow won! Only downside was that it was a bit quiet, probably helped us win the quiz though. Staff were great, very friendly and welcoming.”

“I had a walk in appointment at Headmasters and was looked after by Alexandra. She gave me a really thorough consultation, asking exactly what I wanted and explaining step by step what she was going to do. Without me even asking, she prepared a relaxing hair wash with a massage chair and footrest. I absolutely loved it! She completely turned my day around. Alexandra also told me about upcoming sales which was really helpful. I left feeling refreshed and happy with my hair wash, cut, and blow dry. Excellent service at a very affordable price.”

“No longer Aqua. Noto Italian restaurant and café. My mixed grill was very good and I was full. Wife had seabass and said it was tasty. They are going to have jazz and r n b lunchtimes in the near future so give it a try and a follow.”

“Lovely collection of clothes plus they always have sales to pick up a bargain. Staff are polite and helpful.”

“I had an amazing afternoon at The Store. The service was outstanding. The manager was welcoming and kind. I came to do some work during their Friday hotdesk session. She let me know where the sockets were for my laptop, welcomed me to make myself comfortable, and kept checking if I was okay. I ended up eating from the hotdesk menu, where you can get unlimited coffee. I had two meals, both were really nice and well presented. I called my brother to join me because it was so nice and he came and we had cocktails to end a successful work session. They were delicious also. It was fairly quiet in there. When I first arrived there was a lovely mum and baby club at the back in a separate space, so there was plenty of space to sit and feel comfortable. I usually use headphones when I’m out but the vibe was good and the music was comforting so I didn’t use my headphones. The restaurant was clean with a good atmosphere and stunning decor. I felt really focused. The lights that hang over the tables could do with a wipe though, as there was some dirt that looked like it might fall into the table. One of those things that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Overall it was a brilliant spot and I will be visiting much more regularly now. Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“I visited Silk for the first time and I couldn’t be more happy with the experience and outcome of my hair. I’m allergic to hair dye so the staff at silk took on the massive challenge to achieve the hair I wanted in the safest way possible. I’m absolutely in love with my new hair and can’t wait to visit Silk again. (They are also very COVID safe.)”

“Myself and my mum been coming here over 10+ years. My mum has had short hair and locs done here and I have short hair and the service, the quality and the experience has always been the best. Since coming here, I’ve never looked anywhere else. I’ve always had very good, honest advice and I always get complimented on my hair and how good it looks. It keeps aswell so my hair looks good for a long time after coming. I have a good chat and a laugh with Donna, she’s got years and years of experience and I trust her whole heartedly with my hair. Would always recommend this salon!”

“I had an amazing experience with my stylist, Tina - she is a godsend honestly. I got my hair cut with her earlier this year and she adapted what I asked for to go with my parting and it looked amazing. I went this weekend to dye my hair red and it looks better than I could have imagined I am beyond happy with it and would definitely reccomend. I don't even live in Croydon anymore I came down because I knew Tina was working and would make sure it turns out amazingly. I am so so so happy with it !!! (it wont let me attach a picture which is annoying)”

“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.”

“Great staff, very helpful and responsive. Easy to live here short term or longer, and very affordable. Hassle free bills handled by the building staff. Flexible contracts.”
