Where would you send someone looking for the best green space in Croydon? 🌳

We asked local artists, writers and community leaders to share the places closest to their hearts, inspired by the brilliant @cnhssprogramme Green Spaces Directory.

From world-class culture and brilliant independent businesses to our historic landmarks and more than 120 green spaces, there is so much to celebrate about Croydon.

A fantastic list from Croydon BID and @EastCroydonCool:

The Blossoms is a stylish new development, less than 5 minutes from East Croydon, designed for people with busy lives. We were invited by our friends, East Croydon Cool, to host a relaxed gathering of new residents to taste chocolate from around the world and make bars.

Every time you fly anywhere on earth. It traces back to Croydon. ✈️

South London. 1920.

The world's first international airport. The world's first air traffic control tower. The world's first airport terminal. The world's first airport hotel. 🏨

And the word Mayday.

In 1923 senior radio officer Fred Mockford needed a distress call. Most flights went to Paris. So he chose the French for help me.

Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.

Used by every pilot. Every sailor. Across every sky and sea. 🌊

Charles Lindbergh landed here in 1927. One hundred thousand people came to meet him. Amy Johnson took off from here in 1930. The first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia. Winston Churchill took flying lessons here. George VI got his wings here. 🇬🇧

It closed in 1959. The building still stands. In Croydon.

Every international airport on earth. Every air traffic control tower. Every Mayday call. Traces back to South London.

This is the kind of history we were never taught. 📚

Proud Of Us UK is funded entirely by the community watching it. No sponsors. No broadcaster. No institution. Just people who believe British history deserves to be told.

If you watched this and felt something... That's exactly why we exist. Join the people keeping it alive: https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf 🇬🇧

Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧
