Hi There,
Dont live in Croydon but its about an hour away from me by car.
There is a Filipino shop in Croydon (St Georges Walk) so probably quite a community nearby.
You will find contacts easily on this forum.

There's some 2,000+ in/around the area.

Just take a walk down the main shopping street on a Saturday/Sunday, or George Street fruit & veg market

No, from Lewisham which is not very far. Everywhere has nice parts and pretty bad bits.
