Catford is a neighbourhood in the London Borough of Lewisham in South London, about 10 km (6.3 mi) to the southeast of Charing Cross.
Catford underwent an architectural transformation in the 1960's and 70's, when many of its 19th century buildings were replaced by modern buildings, including Eros House, built in the brutalist style, and is now a Grade II heritage building.

Although Catford derived its name from cattle rather than cat, the district's most prominent landmark is a black cat sculpture in fibreglass at the entrance to the Catford Centre, a small shopping centre with Tesco and Iceland supermarkets as anchor tenants.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
