Only by searching the electoral registers which are probably at the library nearest to the address or have been archived

Unless it is a London register

Ancestry has London up to 1965

Apparently the Midlands registers go up to 1955 but never looked at those

There are a few years on Ancestry for Croydon

Croydon North East 1963 & 1965
Croydon North West 1963 & 1964
Croydon South 1963 & 1964

According to Wiki Croydon was amalgamated in to Greater London in 1965.
Don't forget that qualifying voters had to be 21 or over
