Croydon is a thriving retail and commercial hub at the very heart of south London. It is one of the capital’s two strategic office centres outside of the city. Linking central London with the Surrey countryside and the south coast, Croydon provides the lifestyle benefits of the country while being only minutes from town and acting as a gateway to London Gatwick International Airport.

With 341,800 residents, Croydon is south London’s biggest borough by population. If it were a city, it would be the UK’s 10th largest by population (excluding Greater London). Just 10 miles from central London the borough is connected by rail, tube, tram and bus. Three million people live within 10 miles of the town centre. Croydon is the biggest commercial hub for the south London and south coast region, which stretches from Hampshire to Kent. The next largest commercial centres are Medway and Southampton.
