About

Burgess Hill Central is the commercial and civic heart of Burgess Hill in Mid Sussex. It contains the high street with shops, supermarkets, cafes, the town council offices and library, and small service streets. The centre developed around the coming of the railway in the mid-1800s; remnants of that period appear in the mixture of Victorian terraces and later shopping frontages. Regular town events use the central open space near the station, including monthly markets and seasonal fairs.

The railway station sits at the northern edge of the town centre and provides direct rail services to Brighton and London, making commuting straightforward. Bus routes link the centre with surrounding villages in Mid Sussex, and main roads give quick access to the A23 corridor. Walking routes and short pedestrian streets keep most local facilities within a few minutes' walk of each other, so daily errands and community services are concentrated in a compact area.
