Croydon High Street, Walking from West Croydon to East Croydon Station - 4K Silent Walking Tour

[@LondonCityWalks]

Thanks for this. Haven't seen Croydon in 20 years. So different!!

Over 45 years ago I used to walk up and down that High Street both to go to a Saturday and Sunday job as a teenager whilst at secondary school. Allders where my Mum worked and in George Street where there used to be a Wimpy Bar. I also tried working at a nightclub that used be along the High Street. I did all my fashion shopping (Twiggy years) along there and Mum used to buy our school clothing from the shop that was on the corner opposite George St and High Street. I would walk back down the High St, towards West Croydon staion but turn right just before it and go to the Bus station to catch the bus home. In later years I worked further down beyond the High Street and used to get the train to Croydon, (we had moved to the South Coast by then) coming in to East Croydon station and then travel back each day. I remember seeing the Wedding Cake building and flyover as we called it then being built! The Whitgift Centre was a lovely place to shop and eat I used to go to the pub in in heart on Friday nights. Seeing this reminded me of those happy times. But sadly as alwasy things change and I cant say this part has changed for teh better. It looks down at heel, and the people ..I would think I was in a different world... people used to dress smart..today it has made me realise just how casual we all are and scruffy looking like we dont care about ourselves anymore. But thank you for this it was lovely to see and be reminded of places and times. Thank you for the work and effort put in the producing it and giving up your time . I only found you recently and I have enjoyed seeing some of the places I once lived. I have never been back to them since I left so it was good to walk with you :)

Croydon was once considered a Suburb!
