Local knowledge

South Norwood local guide

South Norwood has a lot packed in: a busy junction station, a high street with history, and two big green spaces.

Norwood Junction

London Overground and Southern trains.

Stanley Halls and the clock tower

Local landmarks on the high street and Station Road.

South Norwood Lake

A lake and open space on the Crystal Palace side of SE25.

South Norwood Country Park

Wide paths and wetlands towards Elmers End.

Norwood Junction and beyond

Norwood Junction is South Norwood's main station, with Overground and Southern trains. It is handy for commuting, but for journeys with luggage or a change of trains, a taxi straight to the London terminus is often simpler. Our Croydon to London Bridge taxi and Croydon to Charing Cross taxi pages cover two of the most popular stations.

A bit of local history

South Norwood has a proud history. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lived on Tennison Road, where a blue plaque marks his home. Stanley Halls and the memorial clock tower near the station are local landmarks. Visitors to the area sometimes book us for a short tour and a ride back.

Parks and green spaces

South Norwood Lake and South Norwood Country Park are great for walking, running and birdwatching. If you're bringing a dog and don't drive, book a pet friendly taxi there and back.

Visiting Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace Park, with its dinosaur sculptures, the National Sports Centre and the transmitter on the ridge, is just up the hill from South Norwood. We can take visiting family there for the day and collect them afterwards, which saves the steep walk up from the station.
