Croydon Clocktower
As the big hand strikes…
Big Ben has not cornered the market; film your rooftop party as the clock strikes midnight just a few feet away. From the balcony you’re above the rooftops of Croydon and beyond. Inside, the period features give your intimate party scene a further historical flourish.
Croydon Town Hall’s historic clock tower was finished in 1896 – in Kentish red bricks, Portland stone dressings and green Westmoreland roof slates.
