Shirley is a sprawling suburb east of Croydon that never quite developed a centre of its own. The northern part is closer to the Addiscombe Road shops and has decent tram connections. Housing is a mix of 1930s semis and some later development. Shirley Park golf course adds green space. It's the kind of area where people live quietly and commute, without much local drama or excitement.
