East Grinstead is a civil parish in the district of Mid Sussex in West Sussex, England. Sitting on the edge of the High Weald AONB, it has a compact historic centre of timber‑framed and Georgian buildings, the early 17th‑century almshouse of Sackville College, and good road and rail links that make it both a market town and a commuter base for Gatwick and London.
The town has a distinctive social and historical profile: the Queen Victoria Hospital is famed for Sir Archibald McIndoe’s wartime reconstructive work and the Guinea Pig Club, while the nearby Bluebell Railway, an active local museum and an eclectic high street of independents and small businesses give it a lively cultural mix alongside some international organisations based in the town.
