Croydon, CR0

About Pearson Building

In one line: Ready-to-move-in 1 & 2-bed apartments in the heart of Croydon, minutes from the high street and set between two stations, with private winter gardens, three residents' terraces and a 24-hour concierge. Picture this: Pull back the doors onto your own glazed winter garden with a coffee, then drop down to street level where Whitgift and Centrale shopping are three minutes away and Surrey Street Market is laying out fresh produce a ten-minute stroll on. Walk two minutes to West Croydon and you're at London Bridge in 18 minutes on a direct train, or stroll to East Croydon for the faster 14-minute service and Gatwick in 15 for a weekend away. Evenings are Boxpark street food, a board game and a drink at The Ludoquist, or a show at Fairfield Halls — all within a short walk home. The area: Croydon (CR0), in the south of Greater London, is one of the capital's greenest boroughs — more than 120 parks and open spaces, from Wandle Park and Duppas Hill Recreation Ground to Park Hill Park. Pearson Building sits right on Station Road in the town centre, surrounded by the Whitgift and Centrale shopping centres, the independent cafés, bars and stalls of Surrey Street Market and the Restaurant Quarter, plus PureGym, F45, MoreYoga and Nuffield Health for workouts. It's a genuine creative quarter too — home to the BRIT School and Fairfield Halls — with its own identity but less than 20 minutes from the City. Private Residents' Amenities: 24-hour concierge. Residents' lounge on the second floor with WiFi and access to a landscaped terrace. Three residents' landscaped terraces and a podium garden, including a Chelsea Flower Show gold-award-winning winter garden and a residents' home gym.
