Croydon Train

Croydon Train

Croydon is home to three train stations: East Croydon, West Croydon and South Croydon, with trains operated by Southern and First Capital Connect. It can take as little as 15 minutes to get to Gatwick Airport from East Croydon Station, and you can continue to Brighton for a day at the seaside in less than 40 minutes. East Croydon also connects you directly to Victoria Station in around 15 minutes where you can visit Buckingham Palace, and to London Bridge in a similar time, where you can enjoy foodie heaven at Borough Market or cross the river for the Tower of London.

Croydon Tube

Croydon Tube

Unfortunately there are no tube stations in Croydon itself – but this doesn’t mean to say that there aren’t links to the tube network from here! If you make the most of the fantastic Tramlink, you can travel to Wimbledon where the London Underground starts. Just 20 minutes away is Earls Court Tube station, where you will get easy access to the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. Just 10 minutes further down the line is Victoria Tube Station, where you can get off to explore Buckingham Palace and Westminster Cathedral. You can even travel with ease to Westminster Tube Station for the Houses of Parliament, 10 Downing Street and Westminster Abbey.

A far faster alternative are the three train stations in the district, aptly named East, West and South Croydon. As well as offering direct and fast train links to Gatwick Airport (approximately a 20 minute journey), you can travel to central London with ease. Start out at East Croydon train Station and you can travel to Victoria Station in just 15 minutes and London Bridge (close to the awesome Tower of London) in just 20 minutes.
