Croydon Airport Visitor Centre 🇬🇧

#londontrip The Croydon Airport Visitor Centre, tucked away in South London, is a delightful hidden gem for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Stepping into this unassuming building, I was transported back to the golden age of aviation. The exhibits are a treasure trove of memorabilia, showcasing Croydon's pivotal role in the development of commercial aviation. Walking through the meticulously recreated terminal and control tower, I could almost hear the hum of propellers and envision passengers boarding vintage aircraft. The passionate volunteers who run the center add a personal touch, sharing captivating stories and anecdotes. The Croydon Airport Visitor Centre is a nostalgic journey through time, celebrating the pioneering spirit of early aviation. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in the evolution of air travel and a hidden gem that deserves wider recognition. #ukcreator #london #uk

Axe throwing is the trend in Canada and the USA and it is now getting popular in the UK. Before lockdown I had planned to go to one in Central London. Now you can go axe throwing in Croydon located at Box Park. The Bad Axe Throwing group is the world's biggest urban axe throwing club. Their mission is to bring the thrill of a traditional Canadian backyard pastime to urban communities.  With the help of their talented axe throwing coaches, hundreds of thousands of people have been able to share our passion for throwing axes.  They pride themselves in delivering outstanding customer service to all of their clients whether it's for walk-ins, leagues, private parties and team building events. Bad Axe Throwing was founded by CEO Mario Zelaya in the fall of 2014. Mario is based in southern Ontario, therefore the first doors we opened were in Burlington, Ontario.  In just a few years, they've expanded across Canada and the United States with over 40 locations! I was so glad, I tried Axe throwing which is quite physical because the axe is quite heavy. In that respect, it would be great if you they had axes of different weight and sizes for people of different physiques just like bowling balls. It was all about getting the physics right and standing the right distance according to your throw. The coach Andrew was really detailed and helpful explaining the techniques so after many misses and a few successes I finally got a bullseye.
