Reeves Corner

Reeves Corner is a tram stop in the heart of Croydon, a town in south London. It sits on the pavement beside the Reeves Corner junction, a local landmark named after the House of Reeves furniture store opened in 1867. The stop was added late in Tramlink’s planning to give passengers from Wimbledon easier access to Croydon’s southern town centre. Ownership passed to Transport for London in 2008, and the stop was damaged during the 2011 England riots when arson destroyed part of the nearby buildings. Trams run on slab track laid into the road surface, making the stop an on-street facility rather than a separate platform. The stop is designed for level boarding, with the platform raised 315 millimetres above rail level. It has a passenger information display, a help point, lighting and CCTV, and includes ramps and tactile paving for accessibility. Unlike most stops, Reeves Corner has no shelters or seating, making it one of only two such facilities on the network. London Buses routes 157, 264, 407 and 410 stop nearby, and passengers can change between trams and buses within an hour without extra charge under Transport for London’s Hopper fare. From Reeves Corner, trams run eastbound every ten minutes to Beckenham Junction and Elmers End, while westbound services towards Wimbledon use the nearby Church Street stop. The stop is one of the least used on the network, ranking 33rd by tap-ins in 2025. Despite its modest size, it links Croydon’s town centre with Wimbledon and beyond, serving both local journeys and onward connections.
