Addiscombe West runs right up to East Croydon. At 30 Addiscombe Grove, 59 new-build flats sold between May 2023 and October 2025, and Cherry Orchard Road has the Rainier, Santina and Amarelle apartment blocks. Further east, Dalmally Road, Ashburton Avenue and Addiscombe Court Road are family houses, where a full house move is the usual job.
Healthy Neighbourhood Cameras
Addiscombe has two of Croydon's Healthy Neighbourhoods, around Dalmally Road and Elmers Road, made permanent in February 2024. Cameras fine motor vehicles that pass the filter points, so a sat-nav route can land a van with a penalty. Residents inside can apply for a one-day exemption for a large delivery or trades vehicle, which covers a removal.
The Lower Addiscombe Road corridor is in the East Outer permit zone and the streets around Park Hill are in the South zone. A bay suspension outside the central zone costs a resident £46 to apply plus £35 a day, with 10 working days' notice.
Trams Instead of a Station
Addiscombe station closed in 1997 and Bingham Road in 1983, and part of the old line is now Addiscombe Railway Park. Today the area is served by four tram stops: Lebanon Road, Sandilands, Addiscombe and Blackhorse Lane. In December 2025 the council announced new lighting and improvements to the Addiscombe triangle on Lower Addiscombe Road.
For a shorter job, such as a few hours moving furniture between two flats, our man and van hire can be booked by the hour.
