London’s southern edge hums with secret rhythms—a city of modern glass, neon-lit shopping halls, and streets where ancient echoes cling. Beneath the sleek tram lines of Wimbledon and Croydon, stories simmer just out of sight.

Set out on this self-guided audio adventure to uncover places where most visitors only pass through—stops with legends written into their stones, platforms buzzing with forgotten drama, unexpected humour, and moments that shaped a city’s fate.

Who tried to halt progress as the trams sliced Croydon in two? What haunting mystery lingers in the abandoned food court above Centrale? And which frantic shopper accidentally triggered a legendary Croydon flash mob?

Stride from street to street and let Croydon’s energy surge around you—trams whirring, shoppers streaming, history stirring beneath your feet. See familiar buildings come alive with scandal, rebellion, loss and laughter. The city is moving—are you ready to move with it?

Step forward and see what pulses below London’s shiny surface.
