Best pubs in Croydon

Croydon has some great pubs, all within a few minutes walking distance of The Residences. If you fancy a fantastic pie and a traditional pub feel – head to The Spread Eagle, where you’ll also find a theatre upstairs! If you’re looking for a great beer garden, check out the Dog and Bull, or hidden gem The Oval Tavern, which also has a brilliant live music scene. The Green Dragon is also just around the corner from The Residences where you’ll find pool tables, a great selection of craft beers and ciders and lots of space for groups.

Best bars in Croydon

Surrey Street, just a two-minute walk from The Residences, is home to two great bars – Mr Fox and Art & Craft. Mr Fox also has late night DJ events, delicious cocktails and a fab food menu. Down in South End, check out The Store – for a great bottomless brunch and stunning décor, and Playground for some ‘experience’ cocktails. Just across the road from The Residences, Memory Box also serve up fun, memorable cocktails with a lively atmosphere and Basil and Grape on George Street will bring you velvety wines and olives in a rustic, vineyard-style setting.

Best cafés in Croydon

All just a couple of minutes from The Residences, make sure you try Triple 2, Coffee Shotter and Byte Café – probably our top three in the town! Up next to East Croydon too, Smoothbean is a welcoming and tasty place to read a book, have a chat with friends or host a meeting. Or if you’re on the move, perhaps off to get a train, try Oatopia – they have the best hot chocolate, and a whole range of yummy bagels, porridges and flapjacks. All the cafés listed have great vegan offerings too.

With so many great places to eat and drink you will never need to cook again, BOOK YOUR VIEWING at The Residences and make the first step to calling it home.
