Crawley, West Sussex -travel information and accommodation
Crawley is located just inside the West Sussex border to the south of Surrey, and is around halfway between London and Brighton. This convenient location meant that it was historically used by travellers along the London to Brighton route as a suitable overnight stopping place. In fact the George Hotel that can still be visited on the high street today dates back to 1615, when it was the favoured choice of coach travellers.
Today the George Hotel still remains a good choice for travellers, but is more usually frequented by for those looking for a suitable place to stay before jetting off from nearby Gatwick airport, just a few miles away from Crawley town centre.
Crawley’s history took a dramatic
turn when it was officially designated a New Town in
1947. It was one of the first of a series of new towns
that were founded in order to deal with the shortage
of housing in the London area after devastation of
World War II. This New Town development, combined with
fast rail links to both central London and the coast,
make Crawley a popular place to live and work. From
the attractions outlined below you’ll see that
Crawley also has plenty to interest visitors to the
area in its own right, being particularly well
provided for as far as entertainment and leisure
facilities are concerned.
