Tram loop and town-centre parking
Trams run on a one-way loop through central Croydon, with stops at West Croydon, Wellesley Road, George Street, Church Street and Centrale, and lines out to Wimbledon, Beckenham Junction, Elmers End and New Addington. The town centre has its own Centre Permit Zone, so tell us where a van can stop clear of the tracks.

Flats in the centre, houses in the south
Census 2021 shows the split. Fairfield, the town-centre ward, is 71% purpose-built flats, including towers such as the 43-storey Saffron Square, while Sanderstead, Selsdon and Old Coulsdon are 75–80% detached or semi-detached houses. Thornton Heath is mostly Victorian, with terraces and converted flats. Tell us the floor, the lift and the stairs when you book.

Croydon bulky waste: price and POPs rule
At the time of writing (November 2026), Croydon Council charges £40.40 to collect one to three bulky items and £65.30 for four to six. Sofas, armchairs and mattresses with treated foam count as POPs waste and come on a separate visit, and everything must be at the front of the home, at pavement level, the night before.

Private renting and selective licensing
About 26% of Croydon households rent privately (Census 2021). Under the council's Selective Licensing Scheme 2026, landlords need a licence for privately rented homes in 14 wards, including Fairfield, Thornton Heath, South Norwood, Selhurst, Addiscombe East and West, and both Norbury wards. Between tenancies, the end of tenancy clean and small repairs can be booked in the same week.

ULEZ applies, Congestion Charge does not
Croydon is well outside the central London Congestion Charge zone, but the ULEZ has covered every London borough, Croydon included, since August 2023. It runs 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day. If you are hiring your own van, check it with TfL's vehicle checker; Hausio quotes travel and access after reviewing your postcode.
