Squalid roads, buildings and locations in Croydon named and shamed.

The Lesley Arse Pub

The Lesley Arms, located at the corner of Lower Addiscombe Road and Cherry Orchard Road, was still functioning as a pub when I returned from Sweden in 2000.

However, it is now closed and boarded up.



Why do the owners of these abandoned buildings, and the council, inflict this urban blight upon the residents of Croydon?

Surely there must be something that can be done with this building, other than let it rot?

It truly is an eyesore and unfair on residents who live around this area. Being so near to East Croydon Station it's not exactly sending out the best message to possible business/property investors. I think Croydon Council should consider this and take some action.
