The character of Norwood
Norwood Road and the streets around West Norwood’s station are busy at commuter times but manageable outside them, while Gipsy Hill and the roads up toward Crystal Palace are steeper and narrower. We generally wait on a flat side street rather than the hill itself, particularly for a heavier vehicle. Chestnut Road and the area around Norwood Park suit a calm doorstep wait.
- A flat side street is generally preferred to a steep one for waiting.
- Chestnut Road and streets around Norwood Park suit a calm doorstep wait.
- Gipsy Hill’s incline is noticeably slower in wet or icy weather.
