Luxury apartment-what you see in the pics is what you get. They apartment had all the mayor items you would need like pots, pans, iron etc. but falter stuff like salt, sugar, oil for which you cannot buy in small quantities for short visits. We felt secure on our stay and enjoyed it immensely. The view from our apartment was amazing. The location of the apartment is great - a brief 12min walk to East Croydon train station and Box Park for food and some entertainment. Whitgift Centre mall approx. 7min walk from the apartment for shopping. Stores in the mall pretty much similar to what you will see in London city but still a bit less expensive. In the city everything is expensive, outside the city prices are reasonable. A supermarket less than 5min walk from the apartment. There are also busses running to east croydon train-station that stops nearby (#468 if i recall correctly) and drops you off closest to Box Park/East croydon station. Tip: planning on heading into London in the mornings - get an early train in because trains into London are usually full and you’ll be switching platforms many times to get a train to London Victoria. If your traveling with buggies/strollers with babies, I would suggest to get out and get a train into London as early as possible, 8am or 9am ish. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back!
