New Addington has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. The area was originally developed as a housing estate for workers in the nearby factories and mines. Over the years, the area has grown and evolved, with new housing developments, shops, and amenities being added. Today, New Addington is a vibrant and diverse community that is home to people from all walks of life.
