A Love Letter to Croydon's Chicken Scene

They built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. They put a big clock in London. Croydon? Croydon built a mile of the finest fried chicken establishments on the planet, and somehow nobody's written a guide.

Until now.

The Croydon Chicken Mile is not a Michelin star affair. It's better than that. It's a two-piece and chips at 11pm. It's the crunch you hear three tables over. It's the sauce that requires two napkins, minimum.

Come for the chicken. Stay because the tram home doesn't run until 6am anyway.

Missed a chicken shop? Let us know.

No chickens were harmed in the making of this website. (Some were, however, delicious.)
