Croydon - nightlife, accommodation, things to do and general chat

Can anyone recommend a tiler in Croydon? I am harvesting numbers from the Brixton tradesman thread but someone more local might be better?
 
large double fronted Costa opening in Thornton Heath, by the leisure center.

can't quite believe it, tbh.
 
only just noticed the logical inconsistency in the OP
Surely that should read, "Nightdeath in Croydon?"
 
Has the Westfield developments started? Walked down the high street on Saturday, lots of scaffolding going up where Burton used to be, around the current entrance to the whitgift centre.

Also noticed Tiger Tiger has closed down, good riddance!
 
Apparently Tiger Tiger is closing

Plastician (well know ex dub step DJ and addiscombe resident) was bemoaning the effective death of late nightlife in Croydon on Facebook

He said tiger tiger is shit but it's symptomatic of the wider problems of venues shutting.

It's in this article as well

Closure of Tiger Tiger is the 'nail in the coffin' of Croydon's ailing nightlife

Reflex also gone. Can't say I'm bothered. None of these venues were unique. They had a townie feel about them. Booze Britain IMO. Attracting idiots from small towns all over Surrey. I'm glad that Croydon is no longer becoming a centre for weekend boozing. They all go to Clapham hight street now!

It is starting soon I think if it hasn't already.

I've just started working in Croydon 2 days a week, first real time I've spent since I lived on addiscombe Road (apart from visiting my mum in South Croydon)

Town centre is really tired, you can really tell they've let the Whitgift centre run down.

Found two decent places to get coffee from though so it isn't all bad.
 
Mark steel lives in Thornton heath. Not cystal palace, not penge. T Heath. Like the fact that he has stayed there when its a town most have a sneer for.
 
I wish I had more reason to go to croydon, as it would be convenient for going out etc.

But I don't :(
 
STUTTER:WATCH DEALER BLASTED RANGE ROVER AFTER LOVE 'SHOWDOWN'
CROYDON, WARLINGHAM, SURREY A luxury watch dealer blasted a Range Rover with a sawn off shotgun after a 'showdown' with a man who accused him of sleeping with his partner, a court heard. Joshua Stutter, 25, claims he arranged the meeting after he got a string of threatening phone calls accusing him of having an affair. Witnesses saw his damaged Mercedes screeching past the four-wheel-drive, which had blacked out windows, before the vehicles came to a halt on Eskdale Gardens, near Riddlesdown Common, in Croydon, south London. The co-founder of Chaps & Co, which offers a range of Rolex, Cartier and Patek Philippe timepieces, then fired at the vehicle after it came to a halt following the high-speed chase.

:eek:
 
i saw that on the Court News twitter and thought it said 'Watch - Dealer blasted Range Rover after love showdown'

was pretty gutted when there was no video of a drug dealer wielding a shotgun in Warlingham but instead a report about a watch dealer.

I know brogdale writes for them occasionally but there is a massive twitter fight going on between Inside Croydon and the guy who runs St Matthews Yard at the moment.

Also the Council appear to be letting out the top two floors of Bernard Weatherhill House according to Inside Croydon - views from up there are great!
