Croydon Campus
Our Croydon campus is centrally located near to East Croydon station offering a wide range of transport options and easy access to many areas. Our central location in Croydon means we are closely linked with our local community and all that Croydon has to offer. Croydon College can trace its history back to 1868 when Croydon School of Art was first established. Subsequently, a rich and interesting history followed leading to the Croydon Technical College opening its doors for the first time in 1955 and was finally completed and formally opened by the Queen in 1960. In 1974 the College was renamed Croydon College and has remained as such on the main Fairfield site ever since.
