In 1915 Purley and the neighbouring town of Coulsdon formed the Coulsdon and Purley Urban District which in 1965 was abolished and its area used to form part of the London Borough of Croydon.
Purley Cross roundabout connects routes leading east to East Grinstead and Eastbourne (the A22), west to Epsom and Kingston, south to Redhill and Brighton (the A23), and north to Croydon and London.
Purley was named in 2003 as the wealthiest area of suburban London, mainly due to the presence of the famous Webb Estate in West Purley.
