Moving in Croydon
Croydon is one of London's largest boroughs, so a lot of moves here are suburban: semi-detached and terraced houses, often with a driveway or space to park outside. That usually makes loading quicker than in inner London. The town centre has plenty of newer flat blocks where a lift booking or loading bay matters.
Areas covered: Purley, Thornton Heath, South Norwood, Addiscombe, Selhurst. Postcodes: CR0, CR2, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25.
Access and parking
Check whether your street is in a controlled parking zone. Many roads around East Croydon and the town centre are. Suburban streets further south often are not, which makes a bigger van easier to position.
