Selsdon Park & Hamsey Green

About

Selsdon Park & Hamsey Green is a residential area in the southern part of Croydon, known for its mix of suburban housing and green spaces. The area is home to Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve, a popular spot for walking and wildlife spotting, as well as Selsdon Recreation Ground, which offers sports facilities and open space. Housing ranges from detached homes to smaller terraces, with a quieter, more rural feel compared to central Croydon.

Local amenities include a selection of shops, cafes, and pubs along Addington Road, serving the community’s daily needs. The area is well-connected by bus routes to Croydon town centre and surrounding areas, while Sanderstead and Selsdon stations provide rail links. Schools like Ridgeway Primary and Riddlesdown Collegiate cater to families, making it a practical choice for those seeking a balance between convenience and a semi-rural lifestyle.
