SOUTH NORWOOD
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
South Norwood is a district of south-east London, England, within the London Borough of Croydon and the historic county of Surrey.
It almost feels as though this is a hidden gem in a little pocket of London that people have forgotten about. South Norwood is vibrant, diverse, unpretentious, friendly, easy to get around with excellent transport links, lots of amenities and very green with lovely outside space with the country park and lakes area.
​
Residents have a civic pride in the area, which has many unique and quirky features. In 1966 the stolen World Cup was found here by Pickles the dog. In Tennyson Road there is a blue plaque marking the place where Arthur Conan Doyle once lived.
