With experts predicting a mass return to the office in 2025*, convenient transport links are becoming a top priority for property-seeking commuters in Greater London. East Croydon’s railway station, along with its exceptional public transport services, makes the area a convenient place to live for those looking for easy access to central London.
L&Q at Queen’s Quarter is located just an eight-minute walk from East Croydon Station, where journeys to central London take from just as little as 14 minutes. Buses and trams also bring many of the local area’s busiest employment spots within easy reach.
The latest release of rental homes at L&Q at Queen’s Quarter are available through the London Living Rent (LLR) scheme. The apartments are available at below market rate compared to other new builds in the area and offer an opportunity to live in a high-specification, brand-new affordable property just minutes from everything Croydon has to offer.
Funded by the Mayor of London, LLR is a government-backed scheme which enables tenants to rent a home at a discounted rate when compared to renting a similar property privately. This helps renters to save additional money each month, which can go towards buying a home – either through Shared Ownership or outright. Plus, all properties that are on the LLR scheme guarantee tenants of an assured shorthold tenancy of a minimum of three years and a maximum of ten, offering security in what can often be a fast-moving market.
Andrea Palmer, Head of Intermediate Rent at L&Q comments: “With the shift towards office-based work picking up again, accessibility has never been more important for renters. At L&Q, we’re proud to offer high-quality homes at Queen’s Quarter that not only meet modern living needs but also provide incredible value through the London Living Rent scheme.
“These homes allow residents to enjoy the best of Croydon’s vibrant lifestyle and excellent transport links while saving towards their future homeownership goals. It’s an exciting opportunity for those looking to settle in a dynamic, well-connected part of Greater London.”
With nearly 60 years of experience in the rental market, L&Q is one of the capital’s largest landlords and providers of affordable homes. Since launching LLR in 2018, L&Q has built an extensive portfolio of properties, taking great pride in delivering developments that match the day to day demands of life in London.
Homes at L&Q at Queen’s Quarter offer modern, flexible living spaces in a thriving destination. Each apartment is designed to a high specification, with integrated kitchen appliances including an oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. For those who continue to work from home, the spacious living areas easily accommodate a desk, while still providing ample room to relax.
Main bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms with sleek, modern fixtures, and each home comes with a private balcony. Residents also have exclusive access to a landscaped rooftop garden, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Overlooking the rejuvenated Queen’s Gardens, residents enjoy views of manicured lawns, mature trees, and vibrant flower beds, alongside new play areas designed for the community. Locally, tenants can explore Croydon’s cultural destinations, from independent theatres, pubs and art cafes to live music venues and museums. Nearby Wandle Park, with its 21 acres of green space, offers another peaceful escape, complete with a river, bandstand, and ornamental gardens.
With £5.25 billion being invested in the regeneration of Croydon town centre**, now is a prime time for both commuters and families to make a new home in East Croydon.
