Catford Town Centre
Catford is the civic heart of Lewisham, home to the council offices and the Broadway Theatre. Look up on Catford Broadway and you'll spot the giant fibreglass cat that has become the area's best-known landmark. It's a busy, characterful place, with a street market, cafés and plenty going on in the evenings.
Catford and Catford Bridge Stations
Catford has two stations a couple of minutes apart. Catford station is on the Thameslink Catford loop, and Catford Bridge is on the Hayes line, with trains to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street. We collect from both, and we often drive people between Catford and Beckenham when the trains don't line up.
The South Circular and the A21
Catford sits where the South Circular meets the A21, so traffic is a fact of life here. The roads around the town centre slow down at peak times, and our drivers pick routes that avoid the worst queues where they can.
