Oh well..
My trips to CROYDON will never be the same..
Only thing left for me is the Clarks shoe shop...

You dont know the date when it actually shuts down do you ?

fraid not , but next time your in croydon check out the wonders of the queens gardens. (people are actually murdered there, in the council gardens!) also a trip to croydon is not complete without bthe obligatory tour of "friendly" boozers, yates , edwards, the george, milan bar and of course the goose on the market. enjoy

Now that i;ve been away from it for a while i get the fear just getting on the tram to croydon.

But that's really bad news about Beanos. I used to love nothing better than spending a few hours hunting through the old jazz, soundtrack and weird vinyl upstairs. There was a bloke there who was just so goshdarn helpful.... pointed out some wicked stuff that i never would have bought otherwise.

nuthing but love for croydon.

many a night spent hobbling around in barefeet after a night out wearing heels and dancing to crap garage at the blue orchid when i was 17.

u can always guarentee that at least one chicken shop will be open at 3am.

free sporting events in the form of fights between drunks and the old bill outside roosters

if the place was bombed, some of the girls would be in trouble. so much hairspray and plastic (nails, shoes, prams), they'd be first to go up in flames...

i'm gonna stop now.

home sweet home... Was down the Dog & Bull yesterday

Too much exposure to CR0 seriously damages your mental health

I've had to retreat to the more tranquil regions of south croydonia,
somewhere deep in the forest in a wooden shack with Badgers for neighbours...

Nothing but doggin and golf over here!

Getting back on topic, sad news if true... Beano's RIP
Picked up loads of gems down there over the years
