Southgate is a residential ward in Crawley, West Sussex, in the south of England, lying just south of the town centre and within easy reach of Gatwick Airport and the main transport corridors. The area mixes post‑war New Town housing with later infill, and features local shopping parades, schools and pockets of green space that give it a suburban feel.
Historically shaped by the 1940s New Town programme that defined much of Crawley, it has a diverse community with practical links to nearby industry and airport‑related employment; local community centres and neighbourhood groups are active, and the ward’s proximity to transport makes it a convenient base for commuters while retaining quieter residential streets.
