Living and cycling in Croydon

Hello!

I'll be moving to London for 6 months and need to find a place to live that will be close to an area I can use for cycling (for sport, not commuting). Currently I live in Zagreb, Croatia, near the Jarun lake which has a 6.5 km (4 mi) cycling track around the lake (http://tinyurl.com/2ae4bs). Is there something similar in and around Croydon? I ride my bike fast and I've read that in parks like Richmond park there's a speed limit, so that might not be appropriate? I'll be working in west Croydon (towards Mitcham) so preferably it would be close, but not necessarily. Thanks for your comments!

Hi there :wave:

Not sure of any large parks suitable for cycling in and around Croydon.

Have a look at this map

http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/mapping/map.php?pc=CR0+1TS

you can use the controls to zoom out and drag it around, it'll show you all the parks in the area.

What about cycling on a track at a sports centre? Not as interesting but would be a lot safer.
