Street Banners

Bringing vibrancy and creativity to our streets
Our street banners bring a touch of charm and artistic flair to the heart of our community.

About Croydon BID Street Banners:

At Croydon BID, we believe that vibrant and creative streets make for a more engaging and livelier town centre. That’s why we carefully manage the artwork of over 40 street banners throughout Croydon town centre, transforming our streets with colourful and eye-catching artworks.

By showcasing the incredible talents of local creatives, our street banners bring a touch of charm and artistic flair to the heart of our community.

Through our latest campaign, aptly named ‘Creative Croydon’, we collaborated with 5 local artists who curated 15 unique pieces of art, each depicting notable places and spaces that hold deep meaning to our community.

Our street banners serve as canvases for these remarkable works of art, and bring vibrancy, charm, and a touch of artistic brilliance to Croydon town centre, enriching the experience of both residents and visitors.

Our 2024 exhibition featured a fresh format: a competition for artists aged 16-25 to submit artworks on the theme ‘Happiness is’. Winning artists include: Autumn Ng Fong Tiao, Iulia Taropa, Beatrix Finch, Erika Gomez, and Thomas Oldfield.
