Very nice accommodations. Big room, nice kitchen and bath. Windows are big and sound proof which helps because the street is rather busy and noisy. Bus #197 fifty feet from the door goes right to the station for train to London. Times are tricky and make sure you get on the express. Croydon is “in transition” as they say. The central area is just beyond the train station. Some good restaurants and the indoor mall has everything but it is a challenge to find it. We’ll leave you with the adventure. Check out the Boxpark at the station for a scene and lots of food options. Good value for the cost.
