Local knowledge
Moving in Croydon: what changes the job
Trams run along George Street, Wellesley Road and Addiscombe Road. A van cannot stop on the tracks, so central moves use the building's bay or a side street.
Saffron Square and the newer blocks have concierges and booked lifts. Send the building name.
The A23 Purley Way is slow at weekends because of the retail parks. We time the drive.
