Default Norwood, Upper or Upper Norwood?

I'm compiling a place list. I can't put both down, so I have to chose.

Would you find Norwood, Upper or Croydon, South?

I'd want Upper Norwood, not Norwood, Upper.

As Croydon is such a big place I suppose Croydon, South, is slightly different.

Rats. Just as I'm tipping in the other direction.

On that basis, you'd have South Croydon (it has a railway station) but Croydon, North.

South Norwood, Upper Norwood, West Norwood; I don't think there is an East Norwood.
East Croydon, South Croydon, West Croydon; North Croydon?

Indeedy. Our local butcher's shop is tiled in red and blue stripes, while the client I visited last week had to leave at noon... to catch the coach which had to turn round on the outskirts of Liverpool due to a late cancellation. Palace fans are passionate!
