Croydon Sailing Club is one of the few clubs within London where there is an opportunity to sail with other enthusiasts with the emphasis on friendly competitive racing. By agreement with the London Borough of Croydon, the club uses South Norwood Lake, six acres of former canal reservoir situated between Crystal Palace and Norwood. There is a boat park and a small clubhouse. The main classes of dinghy sailed are Bytes, Toppers, Comets, Herons and Lasers, but other classes are welcome (see Membership page for current guidelines).
The club celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2005 and has a clubhouse situated along the south side of the lake where it operates race control. Boats are launched from a small slipway on the west side of the lake. Sailing starts from a floating jetty. In 2014 with funding from Sport England ,Croydon Council and Croydon Voluntary Action it became a RYA Training Centre which is now transferred to Norwood Watersports offering sailing and kayaking training courses.
