Norbury East

Norbury East is a ward in the London Borough of Croydon, centred on the stretch of London Road (A23) that runs through Norbury. The area is served by Norbury railway station, which provides regular rail services into central London, and by multiple bus routes along the High Street. Street patterns mix terraced housing, semi‑detached homes and small apartment blocks, with local shops, cafes and community facilities clustered near the main road and station.

A narrow green corridor follows the course of the River Graveney through parts of the ward, visible along Graveney Walk where the river emerges between housing pockets. Small parks, school grounds and community centres provide outdoor space and local services. Local planning and traffic projects have focused on managing through traffic on the A23 and improving pedestrian links to the station. Daily life in Norbury East tends to revolve around the High Street, the rail connections, and the pocket greens that trace the river through the neighbourhood.
