In his new Books Special round-up on his Substack blog Reading on Trains Andrew Martin reviews Croydonopolis. If, like him, you come from somewhere like York, he muses, ‘which was compared to Florence only last week in the Spectator, you’re likely to have a pitying attitude towards Croydon, which could easily shade into contempt.’ But, he continues, ‘having read Will Noble’s book, Croydonopolis: A Journey to the City That Never Was, I’m much better disposed towards Croydon. I might even get off the train there one day, but I doubt it will give me as much pleasure as Noble’s witty and very readable prose’ - and goes so far as to conclude that ‘a plaque bearing his name should appear on one of those blustery street corners.’
