About

Horley Central is organised around the High Street and Victoria Road, where shops, cafes and council services cluster near St Bartholomew’s Church. The town centre includes the railway station on the Brighton Main Line, with regular services to London and to the south; the line runs close to the shopping streets and shapes movement through the area. Street-level retail sits alongside small office premises and community meeting points, and bus routes link the centre to residential neighbourhoods within the borough.

Community life in Horley Central is anchored by local halls and churches that host clubs and events, and by a mix of independent traders and national shops on the High Street. Playing fields and public green spaces lie a short walk from the centre, and pedestrian routes provide direct access between the station and the town core. The rail timetable and the positioning of St Bartholomew’s at the eastern end of the High Street are everyday reference points for people using the central area.
