Croydon is a borough in London, despite trying on several occasions and being home to a whopping 381,000 residents its application to get city status keeps being denied. The most recent application to be rejected was in 2012, but who knows, maybe one day Croydon’s dream of being recognised as a city will come true.
There are a few interesting things about this London borough; it is thought that dubstep, which is now a popular music genre, originated in Croydon, with the Black Sheep Bar hosting SGT Pokes from the DMZ dubstep label before he rose to fame.
Two historic figures used to call Croydon home as well – King Henry VIII courted Catharine of Aragon when she was living in Croydon following the death of Prince Arthur, her first husband. Although, it did seem as though he wasn’t the biggest fan of the borough. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was the other famous figure to reside in Croydon, living in South Norwood from 1891 until 1894, before the first Sherlock Holmes book was published.
And final interesting fact about this London borough is that it was actually home to the first international airport. From 1920, everyone flying overseas from the UK they will have set off on their Voyage from Croydon airport. It was the birthplace of air traffic control, including having the first ever air traffic control tower, and it was also where multiple world-breaking flights first set off.
