    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.

It sets out what residents said they appreciate about living at Saffron Square and what they think could be improved; it assesses the quality of design and management of the scheme; and it offers some recommendations for the future of Saffron Square and for similar developments elsewhere. The place Saffron Square is a dramatic addition to the drab cityscape of central Croydon. It consists of five podium blocks (now occupied) around a triangular landscaped plaza, as well as a striking 43-storey purple-clad tower (exterior complete but as yet unoccupied) that is visible from several miles away. The location is exceptionally good for transport, sitting almost equidistant from East and West Croydon stations and next to the tram and bus routes on busy Wellesley Road.

Editorial I wonder how many members are familiar with the Judas Tree (Cercis siliquastrum)? It has now finished showing off its splendid magenta-coloured flowers. The name derives from the legend that Judas hanged himself from such a tree. They are not all that common. One grew near to where I live in Coulsdon, but new occupants of the house chopped it down – when it was not in flower.
