Woodcote: background and history
Purley is an area of the London Borough of Croydon in Greater London, England, on the border with Sutton. It is 11.5 miles (18.5 km) south of Charing Cross and 2.5 miles (4.0 km) northeast of the London/Surrey border, with a history going back at least 800 years. It was originally granted as an estate from holdings at Sanderstead and until as a district of Surrey and then, with neighbouring Coulsdon, as an urban district that became an electoral ward of the London Borough of Croydon, becoming part of the ceremonial county of London, in 1965. In 2018 the Purley ward was divided into two: Purley and Woodcote, and Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown.
Purley is a suburban area of South London, and the quintessential suburban environment has been referenced in fictional and popular culture, most notably as the setting for the long running Terry and June sitcom.
