Local Shirley & Addington chauffeur hire, run from our Croydon office.
Shirley and Addington form the green eastern edge of the borough, where Croydon runs out into Shirley Hills, Addington Palace and the woodland on the way to West Wickham. It is a settled residential area - large houses on Bishops Walk and Oaks Road, golf at Addington and Shirley Park, and families who use Gatwick and Heathrow rather than the trains. The tram at Addington Village and Gravel Hill connects into East Croydon, but for luggage, evening events or an early flight most residents want a car at the door. We cover the whole eastern side from our Church Road base, usually inside fifteen minutes.
Shirley and Addington sit on the quiet side of Croydon, so cars arrive from Church Road without crossing the town centre - useful for tight early-morning departures.
