About us
Who we are
London Croydon Airport was Britain’s first major international airport. It played a major role in the development of global air travel after World War One and has a significant place in early 20th century British history. It was the predecessor to London Heathrow Airport and Britain’s busiest airport during the inter war period.
Our culture and values
The aim of the trust and the museum is to educate on the significant role that London Croydon Airport played in shaping air travel in Britain, Europe and across the globe. Our mission is to conserve the history and heritage of London Croydon Airport, Britain’s first major international airport, for the benefit of the community.
