Water park in Croydon

“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.””

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Really fun playground for kids and lovely park”

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

“It looks like an attraction. However when you get near to it you will find it is just a water tower. But the castle-like tower goes well with the green scene of the Park Hill Park. It gave me a feeling of walking in the streets of Edinburgh.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Beautiful, calm place. Perfect for forest bathing and meditation. A beautiful pond with a small waterfall for the sounds of running water. Stunning herbaceous borders. The cafe has excellent cakes. Friendly good service. No dogs allowed.”

“This is a small pizza takeaway that's been here for 35yrs, and there's a reason for this. They make there own pizza bases and they're quality is consistently good. Yes you might pay a few quid more than the competition up the road, but it's worth it!!!!”

“Selsdon Nature Reserve is a wonderful place to walk the dogs. There many loads of different tracks around the woods and fields, easy to get lost but just keep walking and you will eventually find your way back to the car. There are various entry points, I prefer using the car park which can get full but you can then park on the road. Mostly dry over the summer months, winter it can get very muddy, all part of the fun they tell me…..”

“I did not get a chance to take more photos because I was too excited to eat. The food is fantastic and if you crave Romanian food I fully recommend. Friendly staff (thank you to Marian especially!), quick service and *amazing* food. We're coming back for sure!”

“Calm and a relaxing place. Lots of geese, swans, ducks and other birds. Feeding of the birds are allowed (bird seed, duck feed, grains like wheat, corn and uncooked oats only, no bread please). Good place to visit with children. There is also a small children's park nearby.”

“Listen, this Donny's chicken was so tasty that when I was eating it, I didn't want it to end. Big portions and cheap.”

“Been twice now and service is amazing. Drinks and food come out so quickly. Breakfast is so good - tasty, not greasy and worth the price. Also a huge range of options. Staff are also really nice and welcoming.”

“Friendly service. Bought a bath panel here”

“Lovely food Good potion sizes Never had a problem and been ordering from here for 6+ years Nice staff”

“I ordered from KFC New Addington via delivery and was amazed by how quickly it arrived. The food was piping hot, and the chicken was crispy and flavorful. The driver was courteous and efficient. Will definitely be ordering from here again!"”

“I visited the restaurant Frankie & Benny's has in Croydon for the first time yesterday, and I must say it has been a very pleasant experience in all aspects. From the very first moment I put my feet in the restaurant, staff has provided an excellent customer service, especially Moni, who was the one who assisted us during dinner. Her politeness and permanent smile on her face was an excellent start for our first time at the restaurant. Frankie and Benny's menu is also great. You have a great variety of starters, mains and desserts that makes it difficult to choose only one. Portions are quite generous and the price I paid for dinner is perfectly balanced with the quality of food I had. In conclusion, a first experience that will be the first of many more I will do in future. It is totally worth.”

“Consistent service and good quality food every time I have been to this branch, be it mid afternoon, early evening or late evening like this evening when we were served by Jessica. As the restaurant wasn't at all busy due to it being just after nine in the evening, we got served quickly and the food was piping hot when she brought it to us. I guess the only let down was that as it was getting near to closing time, the coffee machine had already been cleaned but that's no Biggie really. All the staff we have been served by and the manager are all very nice, courteous and helpful. Can't really fault anything to be honest!”

“Renovation done very well. All the flooring in the play part and soft to protect children’s falls. A great job has been done. Well done thanks”
