"Croydon airport was the main London airport in the 1920s and 1930s. Many famous events can be traced back to its involvement including Amy Johnson taking off from there on her flight to Australia and Charles Lindbergh landing in the Spirit of St Louis."
Sometimes when I visit the waterfall in Grove Park, it's hard to believe that it is in London!

Still affordable yet benefiting from recent gentrification, Colliers Wood is the next hot spot..
Oliver Bendall
No longer in use, Croydon Airport was once a major international airport that now houses a visitor centre.

Hal Cruttenden: Can Dish It Out But Cant Take It
A "WORK IN PROGRESS" SHOW Hal is back with a brand-new tour for 2025 with a show that promises to stick it to The Man, as long as The Man doesnt stick it back to him. With his trademark hard-hitting take no prisoners comedy (this is what Hal told me to write!!!) he will be hilariously pontificating on subjects like middle aged dating, social media, the insanity of modern politics and the fact that his daughters love him but dont respect him. He believes that, after youve seen the show, youll feel exactly the same way. His last tour was extended four times and hes one of a select number of comics to have done Live At The Apollo three times and the Royal Variety twice, TV also includes Have I Got News For You, The Apprentice Youre Fired, Bake Off Extra Slice and Would I Lie To You. 'Reminded me of how much I love stand up' The Times Go and see Hal Cruttenden, hes got something to say and hell make you laugh; a lot.
