Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Cyrus MLondon, UK113 contributionsI have come to know Kevin who owns the gallery over the years and I have to give him credit for what he has done. Not only has he managed to introduce contemporary pop art into one of the most socially ravaged suburbs of London (the last place on earth you would expect to find art buyers is Croydon) but he has single handedly managed to undertake the total transformation of Croydon forward into an open art gallery. He has brought on board the local authority and has been permitted to give local as well as International artists the opportunity to express their talent across the city of Croydon on billboards, buildings and public frontages.
In addition to this dedication to the locality Kevin and his team have also managed to gather a fabulous collection of genuine (and often remarkable) works of art which are available to buy ranging across the spectrum of pop art, street art and into contemporary works including stunning and imaginative installations and works on canvas and paper and (yes) concrete too! All the big names are available for purchase or if you cannot afford to buy there is always a great selection of works on display to view. Well worth a visit for anyone even mildly interested in learning about artWritten 19 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aj WaranLondon, UK6 contributionsIt was alright. It has plenty of shops but a lot of its spaces have been abandoned due to Westfield. Although, Westfield in Croydon feels more like a rumour than a reality in the future considering how long its been talked about.
Overall, I’d shop there only for convenience but I would now travel to other shopping centres due to how much Croydon shopping centre has gone down in quality.Written 29 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
