Car Hire Reviews Croydon

  • “The pick-up was easy, it took 5 minutes from arriving at the desk to driving out the car, and the return took even less time.”

Where to go

Croydon's proximity to central London means the options are almost limitless when it comes to things to do. You can check out some of the capital's tourist attractions, indulge in some shopping, or take in some sport.

Nearby Croydon

From Croydon you can visit the historic town of Guildford, which lies around 37 miles to the east. Alternatively, head south to Royal Tunbridge Wells, a popular tourist destination which is home to the Pantiles, which features a range of specialist shops, restaurants and cafes.

Longer drives

Brighton, on the south coast of England, is around 45 miles from Croydon and well worth a visit thanks to its combination of coastline and trendy shops and bars. To the south-east is Dover, home of the famous white cliffs, or on the south-west tip of England is Cornwall, famed for its picturesque coastal villages.

Eating and drinking

Croydon is home to a wide range of restaurants and bars - both independents and chains. You can sample food from almost anywhere in the world, but if you want to go down the traditional route, opt for pie and mash.

Things to do

Take a stroll around some of the local parks, such as Wandle Park or South Norwood Country Park, or head to the Battle of Britain Monument, a 25 metre-long bronze monument commemorating pilots who died during the second world war.

Sightseeing

Shirley Windmill is a must-see, while Croydon Museum is an excellent way to learn more about the local area. Of course, if you head into central London you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to attractions to see. Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and the London Dungeon are just some of what's on offer.
