    Viewpoint Building blockbusters © Rory Walsh Time: 15 mins Region: Greater London Landscape: urban Location: Wellesley Road / George Street traffic island, Croydon CR0 1YD Grid reference: TQ 32559 65637 Keep an eye out for: The tallest building, the Saffron Tower, is coloured to look like a crocus plant - Croydon’s name comes from Old English for ‘crocus valley’ To many people, Croydon has a rather negative image. At first sight, this view along Wellesley Road could summarise common opinions that the area is a concrete wasteland. Rows of tower blocks loom above, while busy roads surround us on all sides. Traffic passes from the left, right, ahead, behind and even below us through an echoing underpass. Yet this scene is one of London’s most popular filming locations. Stars like Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner have trod Croydon’s ‘mean streets’. Even Batman has swooped by. How did unfashionable Croydon become a Hollywood hotspot? Lower Manhattan from Jersey City © King of Hearts, Wikimedia Commons, CC-BY-SA-3.0 Take in the scene – does it remind you of anywhere else? In a certain light - and with some studio trickery – the tall buildings and wide roads could be mistaken for New York or Chicago. Besides fitting looks, Croydon has attractive costs. Filming in big cities can be expensive, disruptive and time-consuming. A film permit alone in Manhattan is $300 per day. Add crew wages and other costs over weeks of shooting and a film’s budget balloons. Croydon’s competitive fees combine with its ‘mini-Manhattan’ feel to create an ideal stand-in.

  • Hamsey Green Pond History
    Hamsey Green Pond history Hamsey Green Pond possibly existed in Neolithic times, as there is substantial evidence around the pond of Neolithic and Iron Age settlements. The pond was mentioned in the Elizabethan Manor Rolls for Sanderstead Manor, when it was referred to as "Wychemere" and has been in many boundary disputes dating as far back as the 13th Century. The position of the pond at the junction of two roads (similar to Sanderstead Pond) suggests that it was used as a watering hole for cattle. Hamsey Green Farm was situated on the west side of Limpsfield Road and, on the east side just behind the pond a wheel‐wright and undertaking business was established by James Bex before the Common became enclosed in 1866 to create pasture and arable fields. Both farmer and wheelwright would have used the pond for their water supplies. Cartwheels originally had metal tyres, which due to the uneven tracks and unmade roads would become loose with the friction. It was therefore customary at the end of the day to take the horse and cart through the water in order to swell the wood of the wheel beneath the tyre so that the two fitted properly together again. The 1930s brought the encroachment of suburbia resulting in the pond shrinking due to the lowering of the water table. It was probably not until the 1960s when the pond came under the control of Tandridge Borough Council that it was restored. Later in the 1990s the boundaries changed and the pond came under the control of Croydon Council.
