Croydon Central was an electoral division for the purposes of elections to the Greater London Council.

The Croydon Central constituency was used for the Greater London Council elections in 1973,[2] 1977[3] and 1981.

This was extended for an extra year in 1976 when the electoral cycle was switched to four-yearly.

A by-election was held on 20 March 1980, following the resignation of Gordon William Herbert Taylor.

The councillor was elected for a four-year term, extended by an extra year by the Local Government (Interim Provisions) Act 1984, ahead of the abolition of the council.
