The council says they had been used by people drinking which was leading to antisocial behaviour.
The Town Centre Taskforce, including Croydon Police, is working to improve public spaces and support rough sleepers.
Anyone who witnesses anti-social behaviour is urged to report it to police using 101.
Shaun Webster, Director of Operations at Croydon Business Improvement District (BID), said: “Unfortunately, seating in this part of North End had become a hotspot for persistent anti-social behaviour, often linked to alcohol misuse. This was having a negative impact on nearby businesses and deterring customers from the area.
“Through ongoing discussions with Croydon Council and the local taskforce, facilitated by Croydon BID, businesses felt their concerns were finally being heard. The decision to remove sections of the seating has made a real difference. The area now feels noticeably calmer and more welcoming – a much better environment for staff, customers and trade.”
The Town Centre Taskforce is a key partnership in Croydon. Statutory, community and voluntary sector organisations, such as Croydon Police and Croydon BID (Business Improvement District), work with residents and businesses to swiftly tackle antisocial behaviour.
