The past five years have seen Croydon transformed from riot city to London’s ‘chosen city’ – a front runner in the regeneration stakes as it re-invents its town centre into a desirable metropolitan hub with high-spec apartments, prestige offices and the capital’s latest Westfield.
It may already be the UK’s fastest growing economy, but can ‘a Croydon Facelift’ in the shape of one of Europe’s biggest regeneration projects really convert the town to a ‘space-age city’ in less than a lifetime?
