For two years. I'm currently living near Centrale, best place I've ever lived.
The best thing about Croydon is....
The people, everyone helps each other out, even more so since the riots. There also seems to be a level of entrepreneurialism, people like Saif (Bonar) at Matthews Yard are helping to drive Croydon forward as a technological and social hub.
The worst thing about Croydon is...
The reputation and stigma attached to being from Croydon. If people actually came to the town they would see their preconceptions about it are so wrong.
My perfect day in Croydon would consist of...
Breakfast at Camden coffee shop followed by lots of shopping. Then lunch at La Tasca topped off by watching a gig at Fairfield Halls and dinner at Chiquitos.
One thing people don't know about Croydon is...
It's the hometown of current England manager Roy Hodgson.
The person in Croydon I most admire is...
The Reeves family. They could have upped and left but they have stayed and shown loyalty to the town.
If I was in charge of Croydon for a day, I would...
Give the green light to Westfield.
If I could sum up Croydon in three words, they would be...
Hardworking. Investable. Resilient
