Croydon's Shopping Centre Organ

During Croydon’s year as London Borough of Culture, we've installed a pipe organ from the late 19th century in Croydon’s Whitgift Shopping Centre. We collaborated with Pipe Up for Pipe Organs, a charity who rescue abandoned organs from being destroyed, to install the instrument.
The first of its kind in the UK, our shopping centre organ will be in situ for a year be open for the public to use during the Whitgift's opening hours. Much like the pianos you find in train stations, the organ is free to use and people of all abilities are encouraged to try playing the instrument. We'll also be arranging free pop-up performances with local Croydon groups throughout the year.

The London Mozart Players are an orchestra at the heart of London’s classical music scene, and the UK’s oldest chamber orchestra!

I have so enjoyed seeing the London Bridge project. Great t have this here.

Saw it for the first time today. It’s in a rather out of the way area of the Whitgift Centre where many people may not see it.

Unfortunately vandalised now, with one of the pipes having been stolen. The Whitgift Centre is in decline and relatively few people visit now.
