The best Croydon sunsets
I love sunsets. The seamless mixing of colours in a warm gradient is so beautiful. I'm always on the lookout for spots with a good westward view. Photography can be as simple as being in the right place at the right time and this is especially true of sunsets. Croydon Flyover is particularly unattractive, but the view west towards Waddon is a surprisingly good spot for sunsets. I was fortunate enough to be passing by at the right time in November 2017 and I took the photo below of the sunset reflecting off Bernard Wetherill House, Croydon Council's HQ. Contemporary glass buildings are great for reflections. This is another view of Bernard Wetherill House, in September 2018. Another great spot to observe the changing skyline of Croydon is the footpath behind the Crown Court on Altyre Road, near East Croydon station. I took this photo of pigeons flying around the Clocktower from this point. A winter afternoon in Wandle Park can be magical. From Park Hill, close to the town centre...
