Croydon sits in the heart of Greater London yet carries the pace of its own town centre, shaped by a skyline of postwar tower blocks that once made it a symbol of Britain's modernist ambitions. Coffee culture runs deep here, with a wide spread of cafes tucked between the shopping streets and tram lines. When hunger strikes, the local restaurants reflect the area's diverse communities, and a handful of well-placed hotels make it an easy, affordable base for exploring the capital beyond its centre.
