Croydon Historic Airport

Historic Croydon Airport has seen a host of daring and record breaking flights that made the aviators global celebrities, such as Charles Lindbergh and Amy Johnson.

The magnificent building made Croydon the world’s first purpose built and integrated airport terminal, becoming the biggest and most advanced airport in the world in 1928.  With the expansion of passenger travel, other airports took up London’s air traffic and Croydon Airport closed in 1959.  This 45 minute guided tour and additional time in the Museum/Control Tower costs £8 per person which is a donation to the airport Trust and must be booked by 31 May.  This photo is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.  Attribution: Brendan and Ruth McCartney.
