Find a greener way of living, at ISLAND in Croydon

Britain has the greenest cities in the world thanks to our love of gardening, and Croydon is a particularly green place to live. Amid the concrete, there are thirty-five thousand trees lining the streets. Nearby, there are five million square metres of grassland, and when it comes to chalk downland, there are a hundred and eighty-four hectares of the stuff.

That's great for walking your dog. Then, there are twenty tonnes of bulbs that boom into bloom every spring, and a hundred and sixty thousand square metres of shrubberies to luxuriate in. It's no wonder bees thrive in the cities these days. It's a beautiful area to live in, and luckily, ISLAND consists of some very fine apartments for sale in Croydon.

With all of this green space, there are also sports clubs that you can join. Old Whitgiftians Cricket Club is open to new players, or there's the Croydon Lions. Croydon Football Club is doing well in its league. You can also enjoy rugby and tennis as well as swimming.

Whatever activity you prefer for getting fit can be found in the area, and with exceptional apartments for sale in Croydon like those of ISLAND, making the move could be good for your health. You can get a membership at any one of several gym chains in the locale, and ISLAND has its own fitness suite if you want to rub shoulders with your neighbours. It is also a very nice area to run in, with low crime rates.

The development is very close to a number of national green spaces. With Farthing Downs on your doorstep, you can have regular nature strolls on the weekend. It is a site of special scientific interest, with unspoilt parkland. South Norwood Country Park is another great place to take children, with a great playing area, and bicycle tracks for older kids. There's even a small golf course there, as well as an abundance of natural habitats.
