Apart from some of the ancient airport buildings, not that much remains to give you a hint about the location of what used to be London's main airport in the early days of commercial air transport. The former terminal now hosts a small exhibition about Croydon's aeronautical past, as well as the unavoidable curry house.

'The first German aeroplane to land in England since the war' arrived at Croydon on 1 January 1923. On board were three officials of the new Deutscher Aero Lloyd who visited Daimler Airway to discuss a joint London - Berlin service. The aircraft was the first Do P Komet II, converted from a Do C Komet I. In the background is Fokker F.III H-NABJ of KLM. The winter of 1922 - 1923 was the first in which KLM continued flying to London. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection

The first Junkers G31 delivered to Lufthansa at Croydon after the type's first international flight, via Amsterdam. From a Dutch newspaper I gather that the date should be 1 May 1928. The G31de was powered by Gnome-Rhône-built Bristol Jupiter engines. Aircraft named after the pilot of the Junkers W33 D-1167 Bremen. Later, D-1310 was converted to G31ho with lengthened fuselage and Pratt & Whitney Hornet engines. To D-ADIN in 1934. To German Air Ministry in 1935.

Purchased by King Peter of Yugoslavia, who was in exile in England. Since he was stateless, he was not allowed to register the aircraft in England, so he flew it in USAAF markings until the airport authorities found out and grounded the plane. It lingered at Croydon slowly disintegrating until it was scrapped in 1956. Photo by: Ronald D. H. Campbell via Colin Bookless
