The Quarters Croydon is the best location! Proximity to shops, trains, trams, buses and the Overground is around 7 mins! The crosswalk out the front door to Whitgift Centre is a godsend! The glazing on the windows blocks out the road noise when closed. I never hear my neighbours either. There are squares nearby, outside, behind and near the East Croydon station, plus Park Hill is a short walk for a beautiful park with tennis courts, a herb garden, dog-walking and grassy picnic space. I feel happy every day knowing I will be home in an short, easy journey from Central London. The Quarters Croydon is just one stop from London Bridge or Clapham Junction, 2 from Victoria or Waterloo and 20 mins to Gatwick Airport or St Pancras for Eurostar.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I haven't raised any problems. I imagine they would be helpful.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It's a wonderful place to live and has a great community feel. The annual Christmas party brings people together and as big as the building is, I feel at home and that I can talk to fellow residents in the lift or in passing. The friendly tone is set by the staff that we are all living together and in London, or any city, that is a real gift!
