Local in Purley

“My girl Aura stayed at Purley Cattery for a week. My Dad dropped her off for me and he was very happy with the cattery and felt that Aura was in great hands. I picked her up on my return and she settled in back home immediately. A big thank you to Paul & the team, they are lovely people and I will certainly use Purley Cattery again when I go away next. Thank you for looking after my girl so well! :)”

“Amazing service - quick, friendly, fairly priced. My car broke down on Monday afternoon and Purley Garage not only set me up with a speedy recovery (I was stranded with my toddler - shout out to Road Home recovery), but also fixed the clutch and rear shock absorbers the next day. I'd called several garages in a panic, but they couldn't help with recovery and had all got 2 week waiting lists and I really rely on my car. Purley Garage truly saved me this week, I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future”

“Purley Express Supermarket is a great local store with excellent customer service. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help with anything you need. The store is clean, well organized, and fully stocked with a wide variety of groceries, snacks, fresh produce, and household essentials. Prices are fair, and they often have good deals too. It’s convenient, reliable, and a real asset to the community. Highly recommend for anyone in the area”

“I had a fantastic experience working with Callum and the Bairstow Eves team. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me buy my property. Communication was clear and timely throughout the entire process, and they were always available to answer questions or provide updates. What really stood out was their attention to detail and in-depth knowledge of the local market it gave me confidence every step of the way. Thanks Callum’s and the teams hard work and dedication, everything went smoothly and efficiently. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using them to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and proactive estate agent.”

“Delicious food from the starters to the mains and desserts. Great place for a catch up with friends nice ambience. Would highly recommend the giant prawns.”

“Having used Boydens before, I knew we would be well looked after, but today both Ellie and Rosie went above and beyond. Their customer service was excellent and having spent a couple of hours going through all of our options (in order to fully replace an existing bathroom) their help and guidance was fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend and will certainly use again in future.”

“The food was amazing. I will be back again soon lovely people, lovely service The food quality is so good”

“Called in for a few drinks while in the area. This is a "proper" old school pub which is rare these days! The lady serving was lovely and helped us with some local knowledge of bars in the area. Good pint of Guinness”

“Went in to have my car serviced, would highly recommend, explained what was done, what parts were used and even gave me a free health check, left knowing my car is safe to drive. 5 stars, keep up the good work.”

“I was sent unexpectedly to phlebotomy today and so rather than risk the queue at CUH I decided to go to Purley Hospital. I am so glad I did. I saw Wendy, the phlebotomist who was astonishingly fantastic. For only the second time in my life I could honestly say I didn't feel the needle going in. She was so well organised that it took mere moments for the three or four files of blood to be taken. People always struggle getting blood from me, A&E on Sunday were horrendous but Wendy was amazing. She could certainly teach them a thing or two. Please don't ever leave Wendy.”

“I went to my local sainsburys to collect an argos item. I've never collected a delivery from there before so I wasn't sure what the procedure would be. The till queue was quite long being 1pm on a Monday so I asked a man called Joel what I needed to do. He was very polite and friendly and said he will assist me. Even though he was very busy he took the time to take my details and collected my item. I only had to wait a few minutes. Thank you Joel you made my day.”

“Fantastic food and super tasty , ordered for the office and they enjoyed it so much ! As the order was over £500 we received free drinks and starters , such a great Christmas treat to my staff ! Thanks”

“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.”

“My children feel safe in this school.”

“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”
