Crofton Park in The 2010s
You may be unwittingly familiar with Crofton Park through watching a number of television shows recorded in the Rivoli Ballroom. The neighbourhood came out of the 2011 summer riots unscathed, which residents attribute to the strong sense of community. In January 2012, the area has gained a look-in on the Channel 4 programme 'Location Location Location'. In contrast with the now depressingly familiar decline of many of Britain's high streets, Crofton Park's high street has a creative feel. For instance, the White Room SE4, which opened in October 2012, is a boutique/studio/gallery offering tuition to anyone interested and a hub for local creatives wanting to sell or exhibit.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
