So much of Croydon is yesteryear's futuristic ambitions. And then so much Victorian(?) rather grand home-making too. It's pretty great at times. Although the local people also have "future promises" fatigue from various major projects that haven't happened for a long time. Looks like they will get their Westfield though... Also interesting that a lot of that retro-future office stuff is now being replaced as it can longer be let. It isn't what modern companies want.
One of the planners has a nice Instagram that seems to often delight in Croydon. (Edit - found it) http://instagram.com/vincentlacovara/
