Croydon: an office city in south London, with suburbs behind it.

Croydon is south London's commercial centre in its own right — a cluster of office towers, one of the busiest transport interchanges outside central London, the tram network and two large shopping centres. The residential wealth sits away from all of that, out toward Shirley, Sanderstead and the Surrey border, in large suburban houses on quiet roads where the city gives way to the North Downs.

So our Croydon work pairs corporate close protection and secure driving around the office core — executive movements, event floors, the walk between tower and car — with residential surveys out in the suburban belt. Drivers who know the tram routes, the one-ways and the interchange patterns keep a business day from being defined by the traffic.
