Old Town is a small neighbourhood in the London Borough of Croydon, adjacent to the modern town centre, and bisected by a major road. The road is a dual-carriageway and forms part of the A236 which is a major A Road connecting both Mitcham and South Croydon. The road, heading from Mitcham, joins the A236 from Roman Way next to Reeves Corner tram stop and carries on the three lane dual-carriageway past Old Palace School and Central Croydon Fire station. After this is a roundabout which is a junction with the Croydon Flyover on the A232 road, then Old Town carries on for only a couple of metres where another smaller roundabout stands. This is a junction onto Lower Coombe Street (A212) or Southbridge Road (A236).
