It is also just a 30 minute drive from the beautiful Surrey Hills where Britons can enjoy a relaxing walk outside.
"As one of London's charming districts, Purley combines the perks of suburban tranquillity with excellent access to the capital's bustling centre," experts at Property Loop stated.
"Purley's captivating blend of nature, history, and architecture offers an array of exciting things to do and visit."
