Dispersal Order Croydon Town Centre 05/02/2026

A Section 35 Dispersal Order has been put in place until 2200 on Thursday 5th February 2026 in Croydon Town Centre. This area includes the area within the boundary of Sumner Road, Roman Way, Croydon Flyover, Barclay Road, Addiscombe Road, Cherry Orchard Road, Lower Addiscombe Road and St James’s Road, in addition it includes Wandle Park and Park Hill Park.

This is due to intelligence received about a “Blind Date” TikTok trend. Previous events have been held across Croydon and Sutton Town Centres, and led to hundreds of young people attending and causing large scale Anti-Social Behaviour. 

Our top priority is safeguarding young people, preventing disorder. We appreciated everyone’s efforts to assist us.
