About

South Norwood Park sits east of central Croydon and is built around South Norwood Lake. The park provides open grass, mature trees, marked paths and a playground, and the lake is a visible focal point used for walking routes and birdwatching. Nearby streets contain a mix of Victorian terraces and later 20th‑century housing; local shops and cafes line Portland Road and Station Road, serving everyday needs and small businesses rather than tourist trade.

Transport links centre on Norwood Junction station, which gives direct rail connections and places the park within easy commuting distance. Community groups use the green spaces for sports and occasional events, and volunteers help maintain planted areas and the lakeside margin. The combination of parkland, waterside paths and a compact high street makes South Norwood Park an area where everyday outdoor recreation and local services sit close together.
