Horley is a town in the borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey, England, sitting just north of the county boundary with West Sussex. Its location immediately adjacent to Gatwick Airport and close to the M23 and mainline rail services makes it a well‑connected commuter and transport hub while still keeping some semi‑rural edges and local green spaces.
Historically a small market and agricultural settlement, Horley has grown in character as rail and airport development brought new housing, businesses and light industry; the economy mixes airport‑related employment, local retail and services. The town has a lively community feel with a traditional high street, sports clubs and regular local events, and many residents value the balance between convenient transport links into London and the quieter Surrey countryside close by.
