Warm welcome, fantastic historic site.
Croydon Airport Visitor Centre的点评
点评：This was a welcome glimpse into a stylish and graceful age of travel in an unlikely setting - just opposite Croydon Colonnades. We had to book in advance to tour at a set time and arriving 30 minutes early was no problem - there is a very nice café and there were plenty of photographs and other exhibits to keep us busy before the tour. We were welcomed very warmly. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and speak with an authority that can only come from a genuine love of their subject - the only other time I've felt this was on a National Trust tour of Lennon and McCartney's childhood homes in Liverpool.
The building is magnificent and the small museum inside is packed with artefacts that show exactly how important the airport was - really the first aerodrome to be worthy of the term 'airport' perhaps. It had a relatively short life, which makes its great significance seem even more remarkable.
Plenty of history for lovers of transport and art deco, or those like me who are interested in early 20th Century history, particularly that of London. The tour size was very manageable and there were many photo opportunities. This was absolutely worth the effort and we paid the suggested voluntary donation very happily. I also bought a couple of booklets from a well-stocked book stall - facsimiles of the brochures for the airport itself and the nearby aerodrome hotel.

翻译：这是一个令人欣喜的体验，让我们得以一窥时尚优雅的旅行时代，而且环境出乎意料——就在克罗伊登柱廊对面。我们必须提前预订参观时间，提前 30 分钟到达没有问题——这里有一家非常不错的咖啡馆，还有许多照片和其他展品，让我们在参观前忙个不停。我们受到了热烈的欢迎。导游知识渊博，说话很有权威，这只能源于他们对主题的真正热爱——我唯一一次有这种感觉是在国家信托参观列侬和麦卡特尼在利物浦的童年故居时。
这座建筑非常宏伟，里面的小博物馆里挤满了文物，这些文物确切地表明了机场的重要性——也许真的是第一个配得上“机场”一词的飞机场。它的历史相对较短，这使得它的重大意义显得更加非凡。
对于交通和装饰艺术爱好者，或者像我一样对 20 世纪早期历史（尤其是伦敦历史）感兴趣的人来说，这里有很多历史。这次旅行规模非常合理，有很多拍照机会。这绝对值得付出努力，我们非常高兴地支付了建议的自愿捐款。我还在一个藏书丰富的书摊上买了几本小册子——机场本身和附近机场酒店的宣传册的复印件。
