- Croydon is a town in South London, England, located within the London Borough of Croydon to which it gives its name. It is situated 9.5 miles (15.3 km) south of Charing Cross. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 11 metropolitan centres in Greater London. Croydon is located on the natural transport corridor between London and England's south coast, just to the north of two gaps in the North Downs, one followed by the route of the A23 Brighton Road from Purley to Merstham and the other followed by the A22 from Purley to the M25 Godstone interchange. Historically a part of Surrey, at the time of the Norman conquest of England Croydon had a church, a mill and around 365 inhabitants (as recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086). Croydon expanded during the Middle Ages as a market town and a centre for charcoal production, leather tanning and brewing. The Surrey Iron Railway from Croydon to Wandsworth opened in 1803 and was the world's first public horse-drawn railway, which later developed into an important means of transport – facilitating Croydon's growth as a commuter town for the City of London and beyond. By the early 20th century, Croydon was an important industrial area, known for car manufacture, metal working and its airport. In the mid 20th century these sectors were replaced by retailing and service economy, brought about by massive redevelopment which saw the rise of office blocks and the Whitgift shopping centre. Croydon was amalgamated into Greater London in 1965. Road traffic is now diverted away from a largely pedestrianised town centre, but its main railway station, East Croydon, is still a major hub within the national railway transport system. The town is expected to have its urban planning changed as part of Croydon Vision 2020.
- 克羅伊登（Croydon）是南倫敦的一個鎮，位於克羅伊登區內，地處查令十字以南9.5英里，它是大倫敦的11個大都會中心之一。 在歷史上克羅伊登曾是薩里郡的一部分。在諾曼征服英格蘭時期，克羅伊登擁有一間教堂及一間作坊，當時的居民大約有365人。中世紀的時候克羅伊登被擴建成一座集鎮並成為木炭和皮革製造中心及釀酒中心。1803年開通的從克羅伊登至Wandsworth的薩里鐵路（Surrey Iron Railway）是世界上最初的馬車鐵路，後來發展成為一種重要的交通方式，促使克羅伊登變成倫敦市和更廣區域的通勤鎮。到了20世紀初，克羅伊登成為了一個重要的工業中心，以汽車製造，金屬行業和它的機場而聞名。進入20世紀中葉，這些行業被零售業和服務業取代。1965年克羅伊登被合併到大倫敦。如今車流被轉移到步行街以外。它的主要火車站，東克羅伊登站是英國鐵路運輸系統中的一個主要樞紐。
- Croydon est une ville de la banlieue sud de Londres située dans le district homonyme à 15,3 km de Charing Cross. Historiquement, Croydon fait partie du Surrey. Au moment de la Conquête normande de l'Angleterre, la localité avait une église, un moulin et près de 365 habitants (selon le Domesday Book de 1086). Croydon grandi au cours du Moyen Âge comme une ville de marché et un centre de production de charbon de bois, de tannage du cuir et de bière. Le Surrey Iron Railway reliant Croydon à Wandsworth fut inauguré en 1803 et a été le premier transport ferroviaire à traction hippomobile au monde. Il se développa ensuite en un important moyen de transport qui facilita la croissance de Croydon comme une ville de la banlieue londonienne et au-delà. Durant le début du Modèle:XXe siècle, Croydon est une importante zone industrielle, connue pour le travail des métaux, la fabrication de voitures et son aéroport. Une cinquantaine d’années plus tard, ces secteurs ont été remplacés par la vente au détail et l'économie de services, suite à un réaménagement d'immeubles de bureaux et à la cr&ation du centre commercial Whitgift. Croydon a été rattaché dans le Grand Londres en 1965. La circulation routière est aujourd'hui détournée en grande partie du centre ville piétonnier, mais sa principale gare ferroviaire, East Croydon, est encore un pôle majeur dans le système de transport ferroviaire national. La ville devrait bénéficier d’une opération de réaménagement urbain dans le cadre de Croydon Vision 2020.
