Lower Kingswood is a semi-rural village in the borough of Reigate and Banstead, in Surrey, England. Set close to the edge of the North Downs and surrounded by patches of woodland and heath, it feels a world away from the suburbs while still being within easy commuting distance of London and Gatwick airport. The settlement retains a village green atmosphere with local shops, a pub and community facilities serving a mixed population of long‑standing residents and commuters.
Its name hints at older landscape uses – historically the area formed part of royal or common woods – and that heritage sits alongside modern life: small local businesses, active clubs and conservation-minded groups, and plenty of walking and cycling on nearby trails. Housing ranges from older cottages to more recent developments, giving the place a relaxed, village character with quick access to larger towns in the borough.
