Why choose to teach in Croydon?

The largest London Borough, Croydon has cast off its outdated stereotypes and is rapidly becoming a desirable place to live and work.

Contemporary Croydon is known for its cultural centre including the Boxpark, a structure built out of old shipping containers. The Boxpark hosts local art space as well as a plethora of independent bars, cafes and trendy eateries, and is modelled on its sister Boxpark, located in the heart of Shoreditch.

Although not on the Tube network, Croydon offers a swift and easy commute into central London via the Thameslink line to London Bridge.

 

Can I afford to live and teach in Croydon?

Take a look at Croydon in numbers. It is so much more affordable than London, yet right on the doorstep:

  • The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Croydon is £1,023 pcm, compared to £1,662 pcm in central London
  • The cost of living for a single person in Croydon is £587 pcm, compared to £772 pcm in London
  • Lower prices, yet minutes away from the capital. The journey from East Croydon to London Bridge Station by train takes just 14 minutes
