CROYDON, LONDON — Hundreds of residents, traders, and schoolchildren braved chilly temperatures yesterday to welcome King Charles III to Croydon’s historic Surrey Street Market, marking both the market’s 750th anniversary and an early celebration of the monarch’s 78th birthday.

Arriving via helicopter at Trinity School’s Sandilands sports ground before heading to the town center, the King made a solo appearance through one of Britain’s oldest street markets, which first received its Royal Charter in 1276. The visit marked his return to a landmark he previously toured as Prince of Wales in 1994, 2011, and 2012.

Enthusiastic Crowds and Market Stalls

Guided through the bustling street by market lead manager Fiona Woodcock, the King’s walkabout was frequently slowed by eager crowds pressing forward to greet him. Outside nearby venues, excited students cheered and shouted greetings—including “Yes, boss!”—prompting laughter from the monarch as security officers managed the enthusiastic reception.

Along the route, King Charles stopped to chat with independent business owners and sample local offerings:

Local Food & Drink: He was handed fresh pomegranate juice from a stallholder, admired curry dishes at Georges Whatle’s meat and fish stall, and visited Amanda Zhu’s stand serving Chinese Roujiamo. Oreemart Visit: Inside Asian convenience store Oreemart—co-founded by former The Apprentice candidate Amber-Rose Badrudin—co-founder Michael Nguyen showcased products ranging from boba tea to spicy ramen. Spotting members of the press crowded inside the shop, the King joked, “Are you here shopping?” An Early Birthday Serenade

The visit culminated in a joint celebration for the market’s milestone and the King’s upcoming birthday on November 14. Pupils from Howard Primary School and Shirley High School Performing Arts College gathered to serenade him with a lively rendition of “Happy Birthday”.

He was presented with a large white cake decorated with four Union Jacks and the inscription: “Happy Birthday Your Majesty. 750 Years of Surrey Street Market, Croydon”. Calling the cake “brilliant,” the King cut a generous slice while live entertainment from The Bollywood Brass Band, Rhythm Generation, Beeja Dance, and Global Grooves filled the street.

Croydon Executive Mayor Jason Perry praised the turnout, calling the market “the jewel in Croydon’s crown” and noting that having the King join as guest of honor made the 750th-anniversary celebration an unforgettable milestone for the borough.
