Greener

First impressions are all important and ensuring everyone has a positive lasting impression of the town is high on Croydon BID’s agenda.

Our year-round planting schemes and floral displays bring a splash of welcome colour to the town centre. We also look at introducing new and innovative ways of brightening up the town and the use of public art and ‘living walls’ at key locations are just two examples of what has been achieved.

Hanging baskets and floral displays

Over the past ten years, Croydon BID has installed over 2,500 floral displays at key points around the town centre to help increase its appeal.

As a result, we have earned several accolades in the local and regional heats of the Britain’s in Bloom competition organised annually by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and our efforts have also contributed significantly to Croydon’s past successes in the competition.

Planting Schemes

Through the combined efforts of Croydon BID, our partners, local businesses and volunteers, we have brightened up a number of areas with our planting initiatives.

As a result, we've won a number of awards for two areas in particular - Reeves Corner and Thomas Turner Path - where the previously neglected pieces of land have been cleared, cleaned and planted up, significantly improving the visual appeal of each area. 

Public Art

Two dingy subways underneath Park Lane have been given a much-needed facelift as a result of our efforts.

Under the direction of local artists, Undercroydon, colourful public art displays – including one with a picnic and pantomime theme - have been introduced in the subways connecting The Fairfield Halls and Queens Gardens and the former Nestlé building with College Green. Suddenly life is a whole lot brighter for people regularly negotiating their way around the town.

Creating a great impression
As one of the largest commercial centres outside central London, Croydon has plenty going on and is increasingly being seen as an attractive place to invest. The importance of challenging misplaced perceptions of the town and creating a great impression has, therefore, never been higher. To address this, we help raise Croydon's profile by highlighting how it is changing for the better, promoting its diverse offering and by delivering events that aim to energise the town centre, increase visitor numbers and leave a positive lasting impression.
