Looking in and around the Croydon area

Planning to move back to the Croydon area. Though I’ve been told I’ve reached retirement age, that’s not going to happen, though I don’t need to work, I wish to keep my body and mind active, Law is addictive and hard to give up.
I don’t care who I would share with but would prefer other professionals or mature students.
En Suite is a must and, as I value my privacy, some form of studio kitchen in the room would be preferred as would direct access to the room from the outside. A terrace or balcony would also be a bonus.
In case your wondering why I would chose a HMO, well I’m a bit of a recluse and this style of living stops me locking myself away. I like HMO living and I’m staying in one at the moment. I’ve also owned HMOs, in fact I’ve just sold my last one.
