Crispy golden leaves crunching underfoot, steaming pumpkin spiced lattes and fluffy woollen jumpers… there’s nothing quite like Autumn. After a busy summer in the city, at Ten Degrees Croydon we’re welcoming the best of this cosy season with a warm hug. Here are a few of our favourite ways to enjoy the colder months.
Take an Autumn walk
What better way to blow away the cobwebs than to wrap up warm and stretch your legs in one of Croydon’s tranquil green spaces? Stroll along the banks of the river at the serene Wandle Park in the centre of town.
Or grab your four-legged friend and head south to the 114-acre Lloyd Park, easily reached by tram and perfect for a long, weekend dog walk. And if pooch gets a bit muddy? No sweat. Head to the pet spa at Ten Degrees to wash off their paws.
Host a movie night
The winter months are the perfect time to stay home and snuggle down with a movie. For the ultimate night in, grab some popcorn and a few friends, and book our very own Ten Degrees screening room.
Decked out with comfy chairs for up to eight people and a killer sound system, you can enjoy an intimate cinema experience, just a few steps from your rental apartment.
Enjoy a Sunday roast
Now it’s getting colder, lazy Sunday roasts are back on the menu. Hunker down at home and rustle up a feast in your rental apartment’s statement kitchen, fully equipped with SMEG appliances.
Or let someone else do the cooking and head to your favourite boozer for lunch. The Oval Tavern, just ten minutes’ walk from Ten Degrees, caters for any taste with six different roasts on offer, all served with herby-garlicky roast potatoes, swede mash, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and veg. Yes please!
Learn how to Hygge
Take a lead from the Danish by embracing the concept of hygge, a feeling of comfort, warmth and wellbeing epitomised by the darker evenings of Autumn.
Decorate your apartment with candles, warm blankets and cushions, swap your phone for a good book, and gather together with loved ones to share a meal, a drink or play games. The cosy lounge areas and games room at Ten Degrees are the perfect place to unwind.
Get ready for Christmas
The Christmas countdown is on – and while there’s still plenty of time to find a gift for that special someone, it’s never too early to get into the festive spirit.
Pick up a pre-loved gem for the office party from sustainable fashion outfit Wings World’s Christmas vintage market at Box Park, or immerse yourself in music, dance and art at community celebration A Very Croydon Christmas. Want to host your own private Christmas lunch? Take it up a notch by hiring the Ten Degrees dining room and kitchen.
