Business premises on Derby Road near West Croydon Station. Vacant as of June 2016.

It's a really tiny space, essentially just a corridor down the side of Eva Hairdressers next door.

It was previously occupied by a gold buyer, payday loan, pawnbrokers, and cheque cashers called Croydon Gold Buyer photo; this opened in late 2011 but closed again some time between March 2013 and mid-2014. (The last time we noted it as being definitely open was in March 2013, and the final tweet on their Twitter account was posted in early July 2013. As of April 2014 we hadn't seen it open for a while, despite walking past quite frequently, and as of July 2014 the shutter had been covered in graffiti and Cash And Carry Beds next door were regularly propping display mattresses up in front of it.)

On the evening of 11 September 2014 there were people inside sorting out displays of what looked like scarves and jewellery. A few days later Jewellery World opened selling scarves, jewellery, bags and makeup photo. There was also a taxi sign above the frontage, but this appeared to just be an advert, rather than a sign that one could book a cab here.

Some time between August 2015 and February 2016, the scarves and things were all replaced by mobile phone accessories, and a new person was in charge, though the name on the sign didn't change photo. During this incarnation, it also sold popcorn.

In late March or early April 2016 this changed again to a fruit and veg shop, though again the name on the sign didn't change. The fruit and veg shop had closed down again by June 2016.
