Croydonopolis receives an excellent review in the Spectator

September 5, 2024 Graham Coster

In this week’s Spectator Helen Barrett review’s Will Noble’s Croydonopolis at length, praising a ‘gutsy, charming book’. ‘For all its debt, deprivation and concrete’, she concludes, ‘at its best Croydon was a dynamic, heroic place. In many ways it remains so . . . We need Croydon’s brio, its spirit of futurism, more than ever.’
