Boxpark Croydon

I really enjoy coming here, I like the atmosphere when there is an event and is calm. Live band this Saturday, great band playing very interactive with the public. There was also football on before the band and its was full at this point bur and enjoyable atmosphere. There are various food places that are affordable and there is security all round. The cleaners are fantastic and polite keeping everything on point for us all to visit. There is male and female 🚻 toilets to use, generally speaking clean and there is also a bar that turns into club after certain time. Look for events on specific days. There poetry, R&B vibes, karaoke or special dj... Children and exercise events. Concerts. Look out for events and you sure to plan an enjoyable fun day.

Great food and generous portions @KANJI! Wish I was living here to make it my third place and daily lunch routine!

Music was really good. But decided to leave as me and my friend were dancing and we were told from one of the security guys we couldn’t. What’s the point of having music if you can’t dance.

BoxPark Croydon has changed since Covid happened. That was our first visit since! Many of our favorite outlets have closed down and sadly some outlets have not even been replaced. Creating empty spaces. Also to our surprise we were told we needed to scan our phone to register to enter Boxpark when no event were on… then when we enquiried and asked why we were told it was not compulsory. So we can only assumed they do this to collect data. Nothing about safety was mentioned and since we were told we don’t have to do it, there seems to be no consistency in it. The pizza from Crust Bros Pizza (38) were divine and are a great choice for kids. Hard to go wrong with pizza. However the size seems to have been reduced. The burgers from Coqfighter (19) looks great but beware they are full of sauce, too much of it! Their fries are weird too. Also tried a pie from a Caribbean outlet and it was so spicy one of us nearly chocked on it, despite being use to spicy food. The children were pleased but us adults struggled with the standard. The music is also way too loud and the TV is nice in the background with Wimbledon match playing these days but hard to follow with the loud music and no TV sounds. We had to shout at each others to speak I guess that loud music is to encourage drinking/eating and give some vibes to the place but that might take a toll on once hearing.

Very cool place. But the second pool table needs charging and the pool cues need new tips... and better lighting (red lights make the yellow and white balls nearly indistinguishable;) Other than that I love the place.
