Redhill is a town located in the south of Surrey. East of Redhill is Reigate which is historically a rich area with expensive houses and private schools. Croydon (Greater London zone 5) is located in the north of Redhill.
Redhill is also really close to Box Hill (only 21 minutes by car), which is the Surrey greenbelt where people can enjoy walking in the countryside.
