Bus Art: Year of the Bus Sculpture Trails - Around Croydon

Bus Art: Year of the Bus Sculpture Trails – Around Croydon is the last part of an instalment of trails for the Year of the Bus event which was launched at a later date, Wednesday 10th December 2014. The trail gives an insight into the local areas with Wandle Park which comes complete with play area, cafĂ© and river, Croydon library as well as a spot of shopping in the town centre’s shopping centre complexes.
