Valley Retail Park

Nice place to have some big shops in one place. Situated in the heart of Croydon, it offers Sports Direct, DFS, Furniture Village and just on the opposite IKEA Croudon. It also has Burger King and McDonalds. It has huge parking space and open area. The Gym is also situated here along with JRC Buffet Croydon. Must visit place for real shoppers.

It's really big.. well the car park is. There is two gyms on site aswell as a McDonald's, nando, Frankie and bennies there is also a Vue cinema and a fair few shops from Ikea to JD to boots.. it's a free parking area so you can be sure to relax when you arrive and stay for as long as you want also before I forget there is also a entertainment centre called tempin inside there is an arcade disc ice hockey coin droppers shooter slots and multiple bowling alleys. Overall it's an alright place I wouldn't come after 7pm tho as you get the boy racers and hood rats that just make commotion.

Still a good retail park with mix of leisure and shopping - in some ways better than the Purley Way but is a bit of a bottleneck at times - plenty of parking but it is busy - still one of the few Bowling Alleys around, a Cinema, restaurants, furniture shops, boots, sports direct, huge B and Q and Ikea of course - handy if no car as Tram stop by entrance to retail park

Car park being redesigned so less cars can park, even though at peak times the car park is overflowing. Valley park has 4 food establishments plus a couple of shops and a bowling alley. Stay well clear when ikea has a sale, absolute mayhem.

This is where IKEA is based and the best time to visit is during the week. we went on saturday at around 16:30 and could not believe how many people are just walking around aimlessly taking up space in this store. Great products but these sort of places attract those individuals who have no set agenda and generally no purpose in life

Easily accessed with a wide range of stores with a lot of major stores represented. The parking is very good. The only downside is access to the park is via one small road which can get congested at peak times.

Parking signage is misleading. Looks like you have to pay even though it's a retail park car parking area. Signs said you could receive a penalty if you left the area. We wanted to visit several of the outlets including B&Q and IKEA which were "away" from the area we were parked in.
We didn't have to pay which was explained by THE grumpiest parking attendant.
Not sure why he was there which is why we queried paying!!!
Safe to say we enjoyed our visit doing loads of shopping secure in the knowledge our car was parked correctly.

As any other hardware store.
Has anything that you might need, the staff are very helpful and friendly.
We have been going several times through the last couple of months and have purchased from paint to vynil flooring to plant pots.
They have a good variety of plants in the underground floor.
Blinds, lights, lawn mower, bird houses,cables, kitchens, etc

Very busy with multicultural environment, food court and other shops to roaming around

Amazing place to go. So many shops to have a look around and everyone seems very friendly. From restaurants to food halls to clothes shops. You can get anything and everything from here. I spend the whole day here once a month. Gotta love a bit of retail therapy
