Creating a great impression

Home to hundreds of well-known businesses, top quality high street stores, smaller independents and a host of bars, restaurants and cafés, Croydon is a bustling retail and commercial centre through which the winds of change are blowing. 

With £5.2 billion worth of public and private investment earmarked for re-development of the town centre over the next five years,  the importance of creating a great impression and shaking off negative perceptions of the town has never been higher. 

Working with our partners in the local community, Croydon BID delivers a series of projects and initiatives that are aimed at making everyone's experience and impression of the town centre a better one. Principal activities include: 

• Events: We deliver a lively annual programme of vibrant events to increase visitor numbers, provide increased trading opportunities and help leave everyone with a positive lasting impression

• Christmas Lights: We illuminate North End and surrounding streets throughout the festive period with our dazzling, annual Christmas lights displays

• Place Marketing: We produce marketing, PR and promotional campaigns to highlight everything that Croydon has to offer and underline the impressive changes taking place in the town

• Checkoutcroydon.com: Our fantastic, easy-to-navigate, interactive on-line guide features all the latest news and information on what's on, where to go, special offers and getting around the bustling heart of Croydon 

• Check Out Croydon Loyalty Card: Our highly popular loyalty card gives people even more reason to visit Croydon, by rewarding loyal customers with exclusive offers and promotions
