Ria House is a boutique development in South Norwood,
Croydon which consists of a block of 3 apartments
(2 x 2 beds, 1 x 1 bed) completing in Summer 2021.
The name Ria was chosen as the name of the building because development company belongs to a group of Malaysians, and we would like to put a permanent mark of Malaysia in London, hence a meaningful Malaysian name was chosen instead of an English name.
Location
South Norwood is located in London Travel Zone 4, in Croydon Council. This development is located less than 1 mile away from Norwood Junction Railway Station, and therefore is just 12-15 minute walk up a busy main road (Portland Road) towards the high street. From Norwood Junction Railway Station is just one stop (13 minutes travel time) to London Bridge, which means including time walking to the station, one can arrive in Central London within 30 minutes.
Ria House is located within the junction of Portland Road (main road) and Sandown Road (residential road). It is just a stone throw away from many amenities:

There are many amenities just along this route, starting from the South Norwood Leisure Centre which is situated just opposite the flat. There is a swimming pool, gym, and sporting halls in it. Next to this is also Woodside Health Centre, South Norwood & Woodside Social Club. Just next to the Leisure Centre is a Tesco Express, and if you want another place to get groceries, you can just walk about 5 minutes up the road, you will see a Sainsbury's. There are also various shops along the way towards the train station, including a Post Office, and other independent shops selling meat and vegetables.
On Sandown Road, if you walk down following the road, you will not miss the Oasis Academy Ryelands, an award-winning, 2-form entry, co-educational Nursery and primary schools on your right. If you continue your journey further down the road, you will see Oasis Academy Arena and Croydon Sports centre in the South Norwood Country Park
