@MAP_LINK [[Locale Croydon]] |
Croydon is a major town in South London or Surrey depending on your point of view. Croydon has grand aspirations - like many large towns it applied unsuccessfully for city status in 2000 and 2002, and it has a number of "skyscrapers" in the town centre.
Croydon is notable for two things. Firstly it has excellent transport links: for Central London, Brighton and many other south coast destinations, and locally thanks to an extensive bus and tram network. Secondly, Croydon is a significant local shopping nexus, with two large "malls" in the centre and a considerable out-of-town retail park on Purley Way.
Historically, Croydon can boast the world's first (horse-drawn) public railway, and London's first international passenger airport.
