About the venue
For 2022, Loveable neighbourhoods is hosted by the London Borough of Croydon in the newly refurbished 'Fairfield Halls'
Why Croydon?
Croydon's Liveable Neighbourhood Programme is a key feature of the locally developed Vision for Old Town.
This includes Old Town being Croydon’s thriving historic heart, with a flourishing independent business community and attractive neighbourhoods, and well-integrated with the town centre and with surrounding neighbourhoods. It will be accessible, enjoyable and feel safer to walk and cycle and around. It will also include great public transport links.
The scheme aligns with both the Mayor of London’s:
-
Transport Strategy (MTS) which seeks to encourage people to walk, cycle or use public transport instead of jumping in the car for short to medium length journeys
-
Healthy Streets objective – making our streets cleaner, quieter, and more enjoyable
-
Vision Zero – working to eliminate serious injuries and casualties on our roads
What’s happening?
The barrier to walking and cycling presented by the Roman Way and Old Town Roundabout will be broken through by separated cycle lanes, lower traffic speeds and better crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as a greener environment. We will work with residents living just to the north of Old Town to reduce the amount of traffic coming through the area.
Fairfield Halls
Fairfield Halls has reopened following a multi-million pound refurbishment which has restored the iconic Croydon building to its former glory.
Spaces at the venue include the world-class Phoenix Concert Hall, Ashcroft Playhouse, Arnhem Foyer and new spaces including The Recreational, Savvy and Talawa studios and the John Whitgift Community Cube.
Croydon Council’s refurbishment of Fairfield Halls is the first phase in the development of a new cultural quarter in Croydon’s town centre – a major milestone in the town’s ongoing regeneration.
A new £10 million scheme will provide the perfect setting for the revamped venue with a new public space, linking to landscaping to The Queens Gardens and route from East Croydon.
The £42 million refurbishment of the Halls has been funded by development value from surrounding land, alongside contributions from the Coast to Capital LEP and the Mayor of London’s Creative Enterprise Zone scheme.
The award-winning project was delivered by Brick by Brick, the development company established by the council, who led a multidisciplinary project team including MICA Architects and Gleeds.
