New Addington sits on a high plateau at the southern edge of London, physically separated from the rest of Croydon by a steep woodland ridge. Often described as a 'town within a town,' it was largely developed after World War II to provide spacious housing with plenty of light and air, replacing older prefab settlements. Geographically, it is defined by its green borders; to the south and east, the urban landscape stops abruptly at the edge of the North Downs, leading directly into the rolling countryside of the Surrey Hills. For getting around, the extension of the Tramlink in 2000 was a significant change, connecting the central parade to East Croydon and the London Overground in about twenty minutes. While it has its own self-contained centre with a library, leisure centre, and a long-standing market, the real character of the place comes from the surrounding open spaces like Hutchinson’s Bank and Birch Wood, which give it a much more rural breeze than you’d expect for a London postcode.
