Thornton Heath is fabulous in that regard.  Mayday hospital is good,
I've never had a problem getting a GP appointment, and my dentist is
still taking new NHS patients (although I see him privately cos $work
pays and you get better drugs and he uses a cuter assistant for private
patients).  The only thing lacking is a Waitrose, but there are three
independent greengrocers, three butchers, a good baker, and even a
fishmonger about to open, plus several good pubs.

The only time it sucks is round about now, during Artillery Season, cos
Eid al Fitr, Diwali, Haloween and Guy Fawkes night are all making big
badda-boom until 1 in the morning.  But I suppose everywhere in London
is like that.

Oh, and twenty minutes from the west end and from Gatwick.

  I remember when computers were frustrating because they did
  exactly what you told them to.  That seems kinda quaint now.
