About

The Croydon section of Upper Norwood sits on a ridge in the south of the borough, where streets rise away from the town centre and open into patches of grass and small parks. Housing ranges from Victorian terraces to 20th-century houses, with a string of shops and services along the main roads. The skyline is marked by the broadcast mast on the plateau, visible from many streets and used as a local point of reference. Community facilities include a library, churches and a sports ground that host regular clubs and events for residents.

Transport links connect the area with central Croydon and inner London, and local bus routes run along the ridge. Schools and playgrounds are interspersed among tree-lined streets, and allotments and pocket parks give residents outdoor space without leaving the neighbourhood. The elevated ground provides long views across London on clear days, and that topography has influenced where civic buildings and terraces were laid out as the area developed.
