On the side of the famous Croydon Almshouse.
Obscured slightly by some railings but quite an easy spot to see once you are standing in the right spot.
Benchmarks.OrdnanceSurvey.co.uk has two CBMs here with the same coords but different heights, this is the SW facing one.
The SE one will have to wait until I am passing again.
Onto the official website description:

Stand on the corner of North End and George Street and look down where the pedestrian railing joins the wall, easy.

Condition: Slightly Damaged
