The ward returns three councillors every four years to Croydon Council. The ward held its first election in 2018. The ward has largely replaced the former Croham Ward. At the 2018 election, Maria Gatland, Michael Neal and Jason Perry were elected for South Croydon Ward, as Conservative Party candidates, becoming the first councillors for the ward. According to the Croydon Observatory, run by the Council, the 2016 population was 18,100[1]

The ward is in Croydon South constituency held by Chris Philp MP, one of the safest Conservative seats in London. South Croydon and its predecessor wards of Croham and Sanderstead North have only ever elected Conservative candidates since the creation of the borough in 1965.
