The Aftermath of the Croydon Riots In Pictures



Argos - looted and empty but staff outside giving out the new catelogue



PC World/Currys - nothing left to sell, looted with £60 000 worth of stolen goods



H&M - smashed but open



Jewellery shop boarding up the windows ready to re-open



Even charities like Age UK and funeral directors were vandalised and looted



PC World/Currys out of town superstore - looted, nothing left to sell


Lidl in West Croydon - burned



This is Reeves Corner - minus Reeves Furniture Store. The pile of rubble is what is left of it



Riot police patrol the streets and shopping centres. People keep going up to them and thanking them for their help in making Croydon begin to feel safe again - although many people here are still scared.


One of several blocks of burned out flats - people had to jump for safety right into the riots. It's amazing no-one has been killed





A music shop looted and burned




Smashed up instruments 

More burned out flats - people's homes being demolished



The clean up

  1. H&M was not smashed up at all....the boards were put up the night before as precaution in case anything else happened.
