New Addington, CR0

New Addington is a place in the London Borough of Croydon. It is a large local authority estate surrounded by open countryside and golf courses.

Beginning in the late 1990s, there has been an improvement in quality of life in and perception of New Addington and Fieldway. The area was declared one of the first Education Action Zones by the Labour government, with extra investment and opportunities for partnership for schools. The majority of the houses were bought by their tenants, which some say has led to renewed pride in their properties and community. The London Borough of Croydon increased its investment in the remaining housing stock and in the leisure and youth facilities. It also organised a neighbourhood partnership for the estate which local people lead to hold public institutions to account. But perhaps the most important improvement was the arrival of Tramlink, providing a connection with Croydon and connections to central London in a little over 20 minutes, providing the opportunity of a greater choice of schools and jobs. More recently the Octagon Cyber Café has been opened by the London Borough of Croydon, although Tesco closed its supermarket and Lidl have bought, closed down and have demolished the Cunningham pub, one of just three in New Addington and Fieldway, for redevelopment. The remaining public houses are the Man on the Moon and the Randall Tavern.

New Addington is still surrounded by open space, woodland and golf courses, including some important chalk downland sites. It is on the top of a hill and its temperature can be noticeably colder on the estate than in surrounding lower areas.

The Anglican parish church of New Addington is St Edward's church at the end of Central Parade, built in 1957. Fieldway however is part of Addington parish, under the 11th-century St Mary the Blessed Virgin church in Addington village. There are also a Baptist church, the Good Shepherd Roman Catholic church, the Salvation Army and several other smaller places of worship.

Although most of the rest of Croydon has the London telephone dialling code '020', New Addington has the Orpington code for BT customers of '01689'. In recent years, cable telephone providers have entered the estate, using 020. New Addington is in the CR0 postal district, the largest in the country.

Since the beginning of 2006, Croydon Council have started consultation with the local community with a view to regenerating the Central Parade Shopping district and bringing in a partner to develop new housing and a Supermarket retail outlet.
