Noise in Croydon: roads, railways and how to check your property

The sheer frequency of trains and the density of traffic mean a large number of Croydon homes sit close to a significant noise source.

How noise varies across Croydon
Near East Croydon and along the Brighton Main Line, near-continuous train movements dominate, while homes along the A23 and other main roads face heavy road traffic and, in places, tram noise. In a built-up area like Croydon, an intervening building or a set-back can change the picture substantially from one street to the next.
