I was scheduled for another Biometric enrolment for my Residence Permit. It was a month ago that I submitted my application to change my details from maiden to married name. After the submission failure in Oxford post office (barcode in my letter is not readable), I immediately called the Immigration Office Bureau and they managed to give me an appointment in Croydon Home Office. It's a bit of a hassle to travel all the way there, but since I've never been there before, I might as well have a quick tour of the place.
To be honest, I know less about Croydon. Me and my hubby went straight to the Tourist Information Centre just outside East Croydon Station to ask some tips on where to go.
(L-R) Parish Church of St. Michael & All Angels of St. James; Street of Croydon
Croydon Clocktower
I love The Spread Eagle pub, located just beside the Clocktower, because of their bright atmosphere, nice bar and great service.
The Queen's Gardens gives everyone a nice quick break from all the hustle and bustle of city life.
We went straight to Home Office to get the biometric out of the way. Everything went smoothly and about half an hour later, we have the rest of the day to look around. Being unfamiliar with the place have its perks. We tend to see more than we are planning to. I particularly enjoyed the sight of old style buildings around Croydon and admired how they compliments with the modern ones.
