A Local Croydon Curry House That Has Changed
The Indian Queen in Thornton Heath was a familiar name for curry lovers in the Croydon area for many years. Located on London Road, this establishment operated as both a curry house and pub, offering traditional Indian dishes in a casual setting. The venue was known among locals for its consistent quality and friendly service, making it a go-to spot for family dinners and group gatherings.
Unfortunately, the restaurant has since closed and the space has been repurposed. It later reopened under different names, first as The Plough on the Pond and then as CR7 Lounge, which continues to serve Indian food in a bar setting. While The Indian Queen itself is no longer operating under that name, its legacy remains in the local Indian dining scene. For those seeking similar experiences, there are still several Indian restaurants in the Croydon area worth exploring.
