Park Hill & Lloyd Park

Park Hill & Lloyd Park sit inside the London Borough of Croydon as a mainly residential neighbourhood centred on a public green. Lloyd Park offers open lawns, a playground, marked sports pitches and tree-lined paths where people walk and cycle. Each summer the park hosts the Croydon Mela, a large community festival that brings music and food to the grounds and draws visitors from across the borough. Small clusters of shops and a café near the park provide everyday services for local residents.

Park Hill reads as a mix of housing types from late-Victorian terraces to interwar semi-detached homes, with short streets and small front gardens. Local schools, community centres and allotment plots give the area a neighbourhood feel, and residents use frequent bus services and nearby rail and tram links for commuting. Community groups organise markets, litter-picks and seasonal events, and local noticeboards list clubs, classes and volunteering opportunities that help knit the area together.
