Reeves Corner tram stop is a halt on the Tramlink service in central Croydon. It is normally only served by trams coming from Wimbledon to Croydon; trams going in the opposite direction pass the station on the other side of the road without stopping. If an incident in Croydon town centre prevents normal service, Reeves Corner acts as the Croydon terminus for all trams from Wimbledon.
The name is derived from House of Reeves, a furniture store established in 1867, of which the original building was destroyed in the 2011 England riots.

—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“The New England conscience ... does not stop you from doing what you shouldn’t—it just stops you from enjoying it.”
