Croydon is a suburban town to the south of
London in the county of Surrey
?. It's name derives originally from the Anglo-Saxon
croeas deanas, meaning "the valley of the crocuses", indicating the fact that like [Saffron Walden]
? in
Essex it was a centre for the collection of saffron
?. The crocuses are long gone and it is now more well known for being a largely faceless dormitory town.
