Croydonia rocks, yeah its a bit ruff in places like Addo and Forny heath but you cant knock it for a good night out or for the fights outside Tiger Tiger.
Its only viewed as a sh!thole becuase it does not have Victorian housing like Lambeth or Southwark which is full of Arty farty types and other usless Lib Dems who think it is cosmopolitan.
I would rather live in Royden than Walworth or New cross as the hoodies there are top draw knuckle draggers and not kids who go to Wilsons or Whitgift and pretend to be Street...
I was born in SW9 and lived in SE5 amongst other choice postcodes, Croydon would be spared the Napalm as it does have some redeeming features although it is in the sh1t ripple I call london.
When I am king the M25 will become a wall like Escape from New York, Maybe South Croydon could be one of the gates
