Croydon is London’s largest borough in terms of population, and its ‘greenest’ in terms of the amount of parkland and green open spaces. It is both a thriving urban community and a leafy suburb rolled into to one.
An increasing number of high profile companies across a variety of commercial sectors have chosen to relocate to Croydon in recent times, apparently impressed by the borough’s reputation as a leading 21st century business centre with unique transport, infrastructure and location.
The area boasts an enviable range of entertainment and lifestyle activities, as both a vibrant modern town centre twinned with green belt countryside. It is a borough rich in both culture and heritage, with an annual calendar of high profile public events and a fantastic shopping offer.

Croydon is also the third largest centre of business in London, after Westminster and The City. It has a dynamic workforce and is home to several large companies who chose to set up here over all the other options in the UK. This is because the area has so much to offer the business community.
