an oasis in Croydon town centre.
However, you don’t have to go very
far to sample the ever-vibrant scene
that is central Croydon. It’s all waiting
for you on the doorstep.
And if business or leisure takes you
to London, you can be there in an
astonishing 13 minutes or alternatively,

A SETTING TO PLEASE THE EYE AN ENTRANCE TO IMPRESSMorello stands in its own landscaped grounds, which provide a quiet oasis away from the surrounding urban scene.
The landscape designers have
incorporated new trees, gently
contoured grassy areas, bench seating
and paths, with the car park hidden
away below ground. There are two
play areas designed for the needs of
younger residents.
Morello will also make a positive
contribution to the local environment,
thanks to green roofs on some of
the buildings.
Entering the building, you’ll be impressed
by the contemporary urban styling of the
reception area, which has the look of a
boutique hotel. Services for residents
continue the hotel-style theme, with a
concierge service and an exclusive gym
providing extra convenience.

The Mayor of London has committed £1 billion towards ensuring a prosperous future for Croydon. The plans are set out in a five-point Masterplan, each part focusing on a different area of the centre, building on its assets and developing the amenities it needs.
Broadly speaking, the Masterplan will
bring new homes, shops, leisure amenities
and business space, increase transport
capacity and create new and better
public spaces. The aim is to put
Croydon firmly on the map as a
world class metropolitan centre.
A lot of the work is already underway
and you can see the transformation
taking shape.
There’s no doubt that Croydon’s
ambitions are going to be realised.
TOMORROW’S CROYDON IS ALREADY ON THE HORIZON
” CROYDON HAS ALREADY CONTRIBUTED MUCH TO BRITAIN’S PROSPERITY AND GOOD NAME ABROAD, AND THIS CONTRIBUTION IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE.”
The Right Reverend Wilfred Wood,
Bishop of Croydon, 1985 to 2002
CROYDON TRAMLINK
THE MASTERPLAN FOR CROYDON
Although West Croydon
station is the focus,
this Masterplan will
also improve public
amenities, placing shops,
cafés and small parks
amongst the commercial
and residential buildings.
The busy road that
slices through the
centre of Croydon will
be transformed into an
environmentally and
people-friendly ‘green
spine’. It’ll be a much
nicer way to get to the
new Westfield shopping
centre on Wellesley Road.
East Croydon station is
the busiest interchange
outside central London,
with train services to
London Bridge,
Victoria and Gatwick
Airport. The Masterplan
improves the station
itself, as well as the
amenities around it.
The vision for College
Green is to develop
an educational and
cultural quarter, which
also includes a mixture
of residential, retail
and leisure uses.
Fairfield Halls and
Croydon College are
key elements.
This eight hectare area
will have distinctive
shopping, restaurants,
hotel and leisure facilities
as well as office space.
Its showpiece building
is already complete: the
glass-clad, green-roofed
Bernard Weatherill house
House council offices.

CROYDON LOVES TO SHOP AND INVESTORS CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL
” WITH WESTFIELD AND HAMMERSON’S VENTURE WE ARE GOING TO SEE A CHANGED FACE OF CROYDON. IT’S GOING TO BRING SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES HERE, I THINK IT IS A FANTASTIC PLACE TO LIVE AND WORK.”
Yvette Hopley,
Mayor of Croydon 2013-14
There’s no shortage of shopping money in Croydon. Around £770 million is spent in the town centre every year, so it’s no surprise that investors have recognised its potential and have drawn up plans that will take Croydon into the London West End league.
Retail giants Westfield and Hammerson are joining
forces in a £1 billion regeneration of the Whitgift
Centre and Centrale, merging them as one vast,
glittering shopping and leisure complex.
12 \\ MORELLO MORELLO \\ 13
IT’S IN THE BAG £1 BILLION WORTH OF WESTFIELD LUXURY SHOPPING IS COMING TO CROYDON
With over 2 million square feet of retail space, Croydon is clearly one of the leading shopping destinations in the UK. And it’s about to get even better.
Within Westfield Croydon, there will
be 250 shops, including an anchor
department store, cafés, restaurants,
and a cinema.
It’s too early to know exactly who the
occupants will be, but there’s every
reason to expect the heady mix of deluxe
designer labels, fashion and homeware
brands that have made Westfield London
and Westfield Stratford so successful.
NINE OUT OF 10 OF THE UK’S TOP RETAIL BRANDS ARE ALREADY REPRESENTED IN CROYDON, INCLUDING FAMOUS NAMES SUCH AS JOHN LEWIS AT HOME, DEBENHAMS, HOUSE OF FRASER, MARKS & SPENCER AND IKEA AS WELL AS ALL THE BEST FASHION BRANDS.
14 \\ MORELLO MORELLO \\ 15
TEN GREEN FLAG PARKS ANDEIGHT HUNDRED GREAT PLACES TO DINE INCLUDING FORTY-THREE IN THE RESTAURANT QUARTER ALONE
Croydon is one of London’s greenest boroughs and ten of its parks and woodlands have prestigious Green Flag status. Some of these open spaces, such as Wandle Park and Park Hill, are almost in the centre of town, offering a welcome respite from the urban buzz.
As for eating out, you are really spoilt for
choice. Within walking distance of Morello
you can find a very wide range of places to
eat, particularly in the South End Restaurant
Quarter. Here you can choose from Italian,
French, Greek, Mexican, Persian, Mexican,
Japanese: the list is endless.
In the centre of town there’s more still.
Reflecting its diverse population, Croydon’s
eight hundred eateries cover the whole
gastronomic world. There are establishments
for every occasion and budget, as well as
dozens of coffee shops and delis where busy
shoppers and office workers can grab a
quick bite.
16 \\ MORELLO MORELLO \\ 17
THIS IS JUST A VERY SMALL SAMPLE OF WHAT CROYDON CAN OFFER. THE LONGER YOU LIVE THERE, THE MORE YOU’LL DISCOVER.
Croydon has so much entertainment, nightlife and culture, you will find it’s less a case of what to do, than finding the time to do it.
Fairfield Halls is Croydon’s arts complex
and recently celebrated its 50th
anniversary. It brings together the famous
concert hall with its impressive foyer, the
Ashcroft Theatre and Arnhem Gallery,
meaning that all kinds of culture from rock
music to alternative comedy to family
shows can be enjoyed here. It also has
special status as the home of the London
Mozart Players, who perform regularly.
Elsewhere in Croydon, culture lovers can
experience inspiring street art, rock out
at the Scream Lounge, enjoy Sunday jazz
at The Oval Tavern, watch movies at the
Vue Multiplex, and absorb local history
and collections at the Museum of Croydon.

Croydon has always led the way in transport connections. It had the first horse-drawn iron railway, was home to London’s earliest airport, and even pioneered the use of an ‘atmospheric railway’. In more recent times Croydon has re-introduced the tram as a method of public transportation.
Above all, Croydon’s travel network
is integrated, offering residents and
commuters the choice of mainline rail
with connections to London Underground,
as well as bus, road and tram.
East Croydon station is a one minute
walk from Morello*. It’s the perfect
London commuter station, with frequent
direct trains to London Bridge and
London Victoria. Journey times are well
under 20 minutes*. There are also services
from East Croydon to Bedford, Brighton,
St Pancras International, Luton, Gatwick
Airport, Eastbourne and Portsmouth.
As a hub for business, Croydon also has
good road links to the M25 and M23.

WORK LOCALLY OR WORK LONDON:BE THERE IN MINUTES
Croydon is good for business and good at business. From the office-building boom years of the 1960s it has continued to prosper and become the leading commercial hub of the south east, after London.
Croydon is now designated by the Mayor
of London as a growth hub, and the
broad ranging regeneration proposals
can only attract more commerce and
more employment opportunities.
Morello’s central location makes it an
ideal place to live if you work in Croydon.
Your office will be on the doorstep,
your commute a mere few minutes’ walk.
And if you’re based in the City, you can
jump on the train at East Croydon station
and your journey time to Bank will be as
little as 14 minutes*.
