Venue History: The Aerodrome hotel has a special place in the history of international flight. Built in 1928 in an art deco style, the hotel served the newly opened Croydon Airport which under the ownership of Imperial Airways, became the world's first international airport.
In May 1930 Amy Johnson made aviation history when she flew 10,000 miles from Croydon to Darwin.
The hotel has quick and easy access to London for tourism, leisure and the business market.
Wedding Trivia:
WHY IT BECAME "BAD LUCK" FOR THE GROOM TO SEE BRIDE BEFORE THE CEREMONY
Until relatively recently, brides were considered the property of their father. Their futures and husbands were arranged without their consent. The marriage of an unattractive woman was often arranged with a prospective groom from another town without either of them having ever seen their prospective spouse. In more than one instance, when the groom saw his future wife, usually dressed in white, for the first time on the day of the wedding, he changed his mind and left the bride at the altar. To prevent this from happening, it became "bad luck" for the groom to see the bride on the day of the wedding prior to the ceremony.
