South London Suburbs (Croydon)
Underneath the bland architecture, the soul of Croydon is a bustling centre of commerce. It has a good mix of affluent young professionals living in their Croydon flatshare houses. Croydon is also home to a lot of families.
For the arts, visit Fairfield Halls, a lauded concert hall. Also swing by the Warehouse Theatre for new writing and comedy, as well as children’s theatre works. Croydon also has several small live music venues for music. These have developed talented acts such as Black Krash and The Noisettes.
Famous Croydon residents include composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and supermodel Kate Moss. Samuel Coleridge Taylor was a black composer best known for his piece \“The Song of Hiawatha\” which was a favourite for performance at the Royal Albert Hall. He lived in Croydon between the years of 1875-1912.
More recently, Kate Moss, born in 1974, was raised and educated in Croydon. Moss was famously on her way home to Croydon when she was discovered by modelling agent Sarah Doukas at the age of fourteen.
A Croydon flatshare is an excellent option for professionals, with both local attractions and a close proximity to London and all it has to offer. Further south, you could find a flatshare in Gatwick – ideal if you plan to fly a lot! |
