If you’re looking to reach a local audience, connect with local people offline, or show you’re invested in the faces and places that make Croydon special, you’re in the right place.
For nearly 10 years, East Croydon Cool has been helping locals discover where to go, what to do and who to support.
Along the way, we’ve built a loyal audience, a programme of popular events and a trusted reputation among people who care about Croydon.
We work with businesses, venues and organisations who want to connect with these people in a way that feels genuine, relevant and human.

“Through a partnership with Candace Abroad and East Croydon Cool, we created vibrant area guides and buyer stories that authentically connected with audiences, positioning Croydon as a first-time buyer hotspot. The result? Increased website visits, more enquiries, and greater visibility for Latimer’s new homes”. Alice McCutcheon, The Oracle Group
“Over the past few months, we’ve been shining a light on the unsung businesses keeping Croydon town centre thriving.

In addition to securing over 60k views, the observational storytelling videos have secured strong engagement from the local community”. Kayleigh Paget, Croydon BID

“It’s been inspiring to see how many entrepreneurial, community-driven people – many of whom are Croydon born and bred – are working tirelessly to improve the area and create great organisations. Last night, we had the pleasure of working in partnership with one of those organisations, East Croydon Cool and the phenomenal Madeleine Duxbury with a fantastic ‘anti-networking’ session at Event Rooms just off the high street”.
