About

Addiscombe West is a ward in the London Borough of Croydon, centred on the western side of the Addiscombe neighbourhood. The area is mainly residential, with local shops and services along Lower Addiscombe Road and Addiscombe Road, small public green spaces, primary schools and community centres. Tramlink serves the ward, providing frequent tram stops within walking distance and direct links into Croydon town centre and the wider tram network. Street patterns mix short terraces with mid-20th-century housing and pockets of infill development.

The neighbourhood sits on ground with visible layers of history: the 19th-century East India Company military seminary once stood here and the footprint of that institution shaped nearby street names and plots. Parts of the former railway alignment have been repurposed as pedestrian routes and strips of greenery, creating a linear change of use through the ward. Local community groups run allotments and seasonal events that use small parks and halls dotted across the area, giving residents routine focal points for services and activity.
