Yes, I've been told about Boxpark that there's quite good food and drink there. However, it is just hanging out the back of East Croydon Station, so you can go there, enjoy it and leave without actually going into Croydon proper. Tbh it's all academic to me, since I only ever go anywhere near Croydon to see my parents, who live about halfway between there and Bromley.
