Croydon
A large town and major business centre in south London, Croydon originally made much from its role as a halt for stage coaches on the road from London to the fashionable holiday resort of Brighton - the arrival of railway links only aided this development. In the late 19th century the town was popular amongst the middle classes as a residential suburb for those wishing to commute into London, but nowadays is as much a town in its own right, with the Whitgift Centre an important hub of retail opportunity, as well as several cultural centres such as the Fairfield Arts and the Croydon Clocktower Arts Centres.
