Historical version 7 of Locale Addiscombe (view current version)

A largely residential area to the east of the London Borough of Croydon, in CR0. Addiscombe is a quiet, respectable area, with lots of Edwardian terraces of two-up, two-down houses with a bit of garden front and back. Where it passes through Addiscombe, Lower Addiscombe road is a cluster of local shops, with a Co-op supermarket, a good butcher and greengrocer, a hardware shop, a branch of Barclay's, etc. Addiscombe is well-served by public transport, with a number of buses passing through it East-to-West, and the Croydon Tramlink line cutting across its North-West corner. East Croydon Station, with its fast trains to London, is a 15-30 minute walk away, making Addiscombe a popular area for commuters.
