Why is that tower shimmering? We are standing in front of Saffron Square. It’s impossible to miss Saffron Tower with its striking purple and red facade. This skyscraper isn’t just a pretty face. Saffron Square stands as a symbol of Croydon’s ambition, part of the grand Croydon Vision 2020 regeneration plan. The idea? To solidify Croydon’s standing as London’s vibrant third city. Before this modern marvel rose, this very spot on Wellesley Road lay dormant for over a decade. Imagine that, a prime location in the heart of Croydon, just waiting to be brought back to life! Permission was granted, construction began in 2011, and by 2016, Saffron Square was complete. You might find it interesting that the tower was even nominated for the 2016 Carbuncle Cup, an award for the ugliest building. It didn’t win, but hey, even being nominated is a talking point! Today, Saffron Square isn’t just home to hundreds of residents, it’s a statement that Croydon is reaching for the sky.
