Experiences in Purley

“Love the triage system I don’t often use the GP and had heard that the Anima was not so good - how wrong could I be, it was so quick and easy and I was given a GP appointment to be seen the same day within the hour . Reception team were so friendly and helpful and it was nice to see a smile at a worrying time. Highly recommend”

“Very pleased with the work carried out by Dr Simon. He explained, ahead of the procedure (wisdom tooth filling), some of the difficulties that might be encountered due to the position of the tooth. My expectations were managed extremely well, and I was kept updated throughout, and felt very safe in his hands.”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Purley Dragon! I honestly don’t understand all the bad reviews — they couldn’t be further from the truth. Every time I’ve been to Purley Dragon, the food has been incredible — always hot, fresh, and full of flavour. The portions are generous, and you can tell everything is made with care. The staff are genuinely some of the nicest people you’ll meet. They’re polite, welcoming, and always happy to accommodate special requests or dietary needs. You can tell they really care about their customers and want everyone to have a great experience. The restaurant is always clean, cosy, and has such a warm atmosphere — it’s perfect for a takeaway night or a casual meal out. I’ve tried a lot of Chinese places around the area, and none come close to the taste or service here. If you’re hesitating because of the negative reviews, don’t. Give Purley Dragon a try — you’ll see for yourself how wrong those comments are. Once you do, you’ll never go anywhere else for Chinese again!”

“Tried the vegetarian green and beets and loved it. The sushi guy at the counter was as cute as Keanu Reeves!!!”

“Lovely cafe near Riddlesdown station. Wide range of hot and cold drinks including smoothies, nice egg breakfast selection and toasties and burgers. Some of the menu is halal, ask before you order. Recommend”

“Excellent service from Biti, who was kind, ensured modesty and was very efficient and meticulous with waxing. Thank you!”

“Have had both a massage and eyebrow wax and tint with Tyler, she is absolutely lovely. Great service, she made me feel so relaxed and calm with my massage. She was really patient with my brows and her space is clean and well organised. Will definitely be returning, and have already recommended friends and family!”

“Amazing lashes and brows by Daga. She is so lovely, accommodating and her lash sets looks great (especially the Mega Volume). Happy I found her!”

“I recently came across Anu on Facebook and I'm so glad I did! The moment I made contact with her she was professional, friendly and welcoming. It was my first visit to the Purley Salon and I was impressed with the set up. I've always been worried about people touching my eyebrows, but Anu created such calmness in the room. She reassured me through her body language, her approach and professionalism that I was in good hands- I definitely was! Anu remained calm and didn't rush at all when threading my eyebrows. She stopped and explained what was happening at each stage, giving me a few check points in the mirror. If you are looking for eyebrow threading, it's an absolute must you visit Anu!”

“I've been shopping in this branch for 6 months now and would not use anyone else! Most competitive on price in the area Very honest people, never mess you about Prepared to go the extra mile (whether you need help with a tight delivery timeline or find stock that simply isn't available elsewhere). What else can you ask from a supplier? Would give more stars if I could”

“I recently had the pleasure of boarding my cat at this wonderful cattery, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Theresa and Simon are passionate about the care they provide. They are incredibly friendly and accommodating, and they went above and beyond to make sure my cat was comfortable during his stay. The environment is exceptionally clean, and the pens are spacious, giving the cats plenty of room to relax. My cat had a lovely time exploring and resting in his cosy pen. I especially appreciated the large garden area with a beautiful view—what a peaceful setting for the cats to enjoy! Located in a quiet spot, the cattery offers a serene and calm atmosphere, which is perfect for pets who need some downtime. Theresa and Simon even provided me with updates through videos, so I could see how my cat was settling in. It was so reassuring to know he was being well looked after. If you're looking for a caring, clean, and spacious place for your cat, this is the cattery for you. Simon and Theresa truly care about what they do, and it shows in the way they treat every cat like their own.”

“I took my dog with a nail emergency, Natalie was ver professional, but so kind & gentle. Wonderful. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.”

“Kishore is a great resource for filing taxes and preparing returns. In the middle of the tax returns, I ran into a roadblock and gave up. He was always assisting to get the refunds and liaising with HMRC. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.”

“Soo happy with my first ever tattoo done here! Terry was professional, knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. The shop is also very lovely and clean! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!”

“My son absolutely adores going to the dentist because of Christine. She has such a calm and gentle way about her that instantly puts him at ease. The care and patience she shows makes every visit such a positive experience, and I’m so grateful to have found someone who makes him feel so comfortable and happy at the dentist.”

“Had another great haircut at Diane's today. Love this place as they treat you like family, provide a wonderful service every time and are so accommodating. I always leave feeling stunning and the prices are brilliant. Highly recommend.”

“I had cut, blow-dry and colour by Josh. He was fab and I'm so pleased with the results! Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend and I'll definitely be back.”

“From the moment I stepped inside Vintage Barbers at 959 Brighton Road, I felt welcomed in a space where classic charm meets modern professionalism. The vintage-themed décor—complete with antique barber chairs and subtle nostalgic touches—creates an atmosphere that’s both comforting and stylish . Pricing feels fair for the level of quality: with services like a gentlemen’s cut, hot towel shave, and beard trim . Plus, the ease of online booking and card payment is a bonus—especially since not all shops offer it .”

“Working with Natuzzi for long time, and had Great and professional service of Waquar to supply everything followed our design.”

“My first time here and I can recommend Sophie. I took my dog to her to have his nails clipped. He was a bit anxious, Sophie was calm, efficient, and friendly.”
