croydon
Visitors are often surprised by the variety, quality and affordability of Croydon's restaurants. Whilst the pedestrianised centre is overflowing with bland chains and fried chicken, The High St and South End Rd south of the flyover has an excellent selection of independent places, which is sadly becoming a victim of its own success, and itself is beginning to be taken over by the chains.
