Croydon Vegetarians
Croydon Vegetarians is one of the oldest UK vegetarian groups. We hope you'll join us to swap ideas and experiences, meet and communicate with other vegetarians & vegans in Croydon to make a difference to the lives of Croydon residents. We also hope to hear from Croydon businesses who have something special to offer Croydon vegetarians & vegans (especially Croydon Restaurants !
Croydon apparently gets it's name from the valley of the crocusses. I can imagine something similar to Happy Valley on the borough's southern borders. These days Croydon is more often compared to Manhatten with it's sky scraper high rise office blocks and handy tram system. A great place to shop (we have two of everything) and there are plans to invest millions into the Croydon regeneration scheme.
