Selhurst is a largely residential ward in the London Borough of Croydon, south of central London, known for its mix of Victorian terraces, interwar housing and several post‑war council estates. It sits close to Norwood Junction and South Norwood, and is notable for railway infrastructure, including Selhurst railway station and the Selhurst Depot, which have shaped the district’s development since the Victorian era.
The area has a diverse, largely working‑class community and a modest local high street scene, with easy commuter links into the city. Sporting history also marks the ward: the famous stadium Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace Football Club, sits on its edge, while nearby parks and community groups contribute to a strong local identity amid ongoing small‑scale regeneration.
