If you're looking at No. 26, you're buying into a lifestyle of pure, unapologetic convenience. I'll cut to the chase—this place is practically built into East Croydon station. 1. The Proximity is Life-Changing Forget "proximity"—you can get from the building lobby to the London-bound platforms in about 120 seconds if you walk fast. My commute to London Bridge is 15 minutes, start to finish. If you travel for work, Gatwick is 15 minutes away, which is a game-changer. You don't just live near transport; the building is the transport hub. The Super-Pro: That SL7 Superloop bus stop on Dingwall Road is a hidden gem. You can jump on a rapid bus to Heathrow without messing around with the tubes. 2. High-Spec, High-Rise Perks The apartments themselves are solid. The floor-to-ceiling windows are a non-negotiable feature; they make the compact flats feel airy, and the views from the higher levels are genuinely spectacular, especially at sunrise. The Conran furnishings are stylish and save you the hassle of moving bulky furniture. Amenity MVP: The rooftop terraces are where the value truly kicks in. When the weather's good, having a 23rd-floor view while having a drink is amazing. The communal co-working space is a huge help if you WFH, stopping you from getting cabin fever in your studio or one-bed. 3. Management and Vibe The on-site team (concierge/management) is the heartbeat of No. 26. They actually know your name, they accept all your Amazon parcels (a lifesaver), and they run a decent number of events, which helps stop the building from feeling like a sterile high-rise. Maintenance issues are usually fixed within a day or two. The Local Scene: You're not just near the high street; you're right next to BOXPARK, which is great for spontaneous food and drinks. The new bar, Trickle, is right on Dingwall Road and is a popular after-work spot.
