==Geography== The nearest places are [[Mitcham]], [[Croydon]], [[South Norwood]], [[Norbury]], [[Pollards Hill]], [[Selhurst]], [[Upper Norwood]], and [[Eastfields]]. Geologically, some areas have clay-heavy soil, including Norbury and South Norwood. There is the gravelly, fertile soil in parts of the Thornton Heath area, which explains why market gardening and gravel extraction were major industries. <ref>Hepworth, S and Bligh, S ‘Thornton Heath; A local study pack’, (2nd edition) Croydon Libraries 1993</ref> <!-- ==Demography==--> <!-- ==Economy== -->
