Croydon's food scene punches above its reputation. Boxpark Croydon is the obvious starting point — the shipping-container complex near East Croydon station has dozens of street food vendors offering everything from jerk chicken to Korean fried chicken to wood-fired pizza. Surrey Street Market has traders selling fresh produce and street snacks at lunchtime on weekday market days. The borough's large South Asian and Caribbean communities mean there is genuine diversity in the restaurant offer if you explore beyond the town centre.
