Croydon High Street

We've created a new public space to host events and improve access to the town centre.

We've turned a space for cars into a space for people on our High Street, which was permanently pedestrianised in April 2019.

Two pieces of ground art have been installed at the junctions of High Street and Park Street, and High Street and Katherine Street, framing both ends of the pedestrianised area.

Designed by local artist and Croydon School of Art graduate Adam Halliday, the artwork uses bold and distinctive imagery to highlight and celebrate features of the borough’s unique skyline.

An interactive sensory lighting trial and a modern seating structure are also now in the space making it a vibrant place which can be used for a range of events, activities and performances.

The project is part of Croydon’s Growth Zone, a £525m programme of works being delivered by the council in partnership with the government, the Greater London Authority and Transport for London.
