About

Coulsdon Town ward occupies the southernmost part of the London Borough of Croydon, bordering the Surrey countryside. The area is centred on the historic Brighton Road, which forms its main commercial corridor with local shops and services. Residential streets, featuring a mix of interwar semis-detached homes and newer developments, extend from this central spine. The ward includes the northern slopes of the Farthing Downs, a large area of open chalk grassland managed by the City of London Corporation.

The landscape is defined by its position on the edge of the North Downs, with significant green spaces like Coulsdon Common and Happy Valley providing walking routes. Reedham Station, serving the Tattenham Corner railway line, is a key transport link for commuters. Local infrastructure includes several schools and community facilities, serving a settled residential population. The presence of the old Coulsdon Court building, now part of a residential estate, hints at the area's former rural character.
