Ruskin Square (or Croydon Gateway) is the name given to a project to redevelop a block of land between East Croydon railway station and the existing town centre of Croydon in South London. It is part of the major Croydon Vision 2020 regeneration scheme. It has been subject to substantial public debate which has featured in the national media.
Croydon is the principal office district in South London, having been rebuilt on a large scale in the 1960s, but much of the office stock is now dated. The "Croydon Gateway" site, a former railway goods yard, represents the largest single development opportunity in the district.
