Croydon Airport Visitor Centre

Croydon Airport Visitor Centre is a volunteer-led museum in Britain’s first integrated airport terminal and control tower at historic Airport House. The former London international airport tells the story of the golden age of aviation through its 1920s terminal, the world’s first air-traffic-control tower, pioneering pilots, flying boats and record-breakers including Amy Johnson. Public access is normally through booked guided tours and operator-scheduled open days; private tours and current arrangements require advance contact, so confirm the live visitor guidance before travel. Visitor address: Airport House, Purley Way, Croydon CR0 0XZ, United Kingdom.
