Driving in Monks Orchard
Monks Orchard is a suburban district on the edge of the London Borough of Croydon, situated around 10 miles south-southeast of Charing Cross. Historically part of Surrey, Monks Orchard has grown into a distinctive area within Greater London, flanked by Elmers End, Eden Park, and Shirley Oaks. The name “Monks Orchard” originates from the 17th-century Monk family of Addington, who owned land here, including the original Monks Orchard wood. Later, in the mid-19th century, Lewis Lloyd expanded this area into a grand estate, complete with a mansion and extensive grounds, setting the foundation for Monks Orchard as a desirable residential area with green surroundings and stately homes.
