If this was the year 1276, when man like Archbishop Killwardby opened the Surrey Street Market, then yes, Croydon would not be inside London. But guess what? This ain't the year 1276, and you, my brother, are not a Bishop. If you were to do your research, you would see that following the London Government Act of 1963, Croydon was officially declared a London Borough on April 1, 1965, on page 4,565 of the Act.
