Croydon Audio Tour: Echoes of Tramlines, Palaces & Market Tales
Croydon hides a royal secret behind every bustling tram and shimmering shopfront—a place where archbishops feasted, shopping revolutions rose, and echoes of scandal still linger on the breeze. Set out on a self-guided audio tour weaving through Centrale’s gleaming malls, along tram tracks humming with city energy, to the centuries-old stones of Croydon Palace. Discover corners and stories that slip past the everyday visitor. Which forgotten ruler tried to demolish the palace in disgust? Why did Centrale’s dream of a shopping paradise almost vanish before it began? And what was left behind when the Drummond Centre finally fell silent? Step lively between glittering glass and ancient brick. Let lost fortunes, rivalries, rebellions, and secrets pull you through Croydon in motion—eyes open for old shadows flickering in modern light. Take your first steps now. Croydon's hidden depths are waiting just beyond that next corner.
