A Postcode Shared With Three Boroughs
Norbury is mostly in Croydon, but SW16 also covers parts of Lambeth, Merton and Wandsworth, with the River Graveney forming part of the Streatham boundary. That matters on moving day, because each council sets its own parking rules. We confirm which borough your street is in before we say where the van will stop.
Semis on Green Lane, Flats on London Road
The 2021 Census split Norbury into two Croydon wards. Norbury Park had 3,696 households, with 49% in semi-detached houses and almost a third owned outright. Norbury and Pollards Hill had 4,475 households, with 37.5% in terraces and 30% renting privately.
- Green Lane had 26 sales in the last three years, mostly family houses.
- Pollards Hill North and the roads off Gibsons Hill are among the highest-priced streets here.
- Homestead House on Gibsons Hill sold its first flats as new-builds in 2023.
- London Road is mostly flats above shops, such as Solent Court and Radnor House.
A bigger semi is a job for our house removals, and a London Road flat is better suited to our flat removals.
Parking, the Station and School Streets
The Norbury permit zone is small: both sides of London Road from the Lambeth boundary to around Norbury Crescent, plus the side streets nearby. Norbury station on Norbury Avenue has 17 car park spaces, and there is no tram stop.
Roads by Norbury Manor Primary, Kensington Avenue Primary and Norbury High School for Girls are school streets, closed to traffic from 8am to 9:30am and 2pm to 4pm on school days, so we book moves there for the middle of the day. In December 2025 the council announced resurfacing and greening for the Green Lane shopping parade and St Helens Green, with work from January 2026.
