Airport Taxi Service in Purley on Thames
Purley on Thames is a village and civil parish in West Berkshire, about three miles north-west of Reading and a mile east of Pangbourne. It has a Reading post town and RG8 and RG31 postcodes. This is the Berkshire village beside the River Thames, not Purley in south London, so you are in the right place for an airport taxi from the village by the river.
The village has plenty of history. Purley Hall is Grade II* listed and dates from 1609, St Mary's Church stands in the village, and Purley on Thames Memorial Hall sits beside the river. Purley Barn, a 17th-century barn, is still used for events, and there is a small parade of shops on the Bath Road. The area appears in the Domesday Book as Porlei, a clearing where water-reeds grow.
