You may want to check train times the service to/from Redhill isnt as regular as you may think...
Change at Three Bridges or Gatwick = EASY.

Better than what you get on the dole isn't it ?

Well yes but I was thinking more DIRECT.

I've worked in Redhill for a little under a decade and can safely say it is the most soul destroying, chav infested dump in the the home counties and yes, that is coming from someone who lives in Croydon.

I think this person describes Redhill pretty well....
I must have done something pretty ghastly in a previous life because, having survived three years working in the chav-ridden cesspit that is Croydon I am now commuting 90 minutes each way every f***ing day to the chav-ridden cesspit that is Redhill.
Set in otherwise passable countryside, Redhill is a festering sewer of a town. Its architecture is like the slime the devil wiped off his bellend after taking the rancid corpse of a wildebeeste up the jacksie. It is without a single redeeming quality except possibly that the road and rail links are OK and you can get the f*** out of it quite quickly. And you will want to, believe me.
As soon as you get out of the station, the prevailing chavviness hits you in the face. Take your life in your hands as you dodge Kev and Trace veering in and out as they try to work out how to get off the ring road and into town.
(Did I mention Redhill has a ring road? It’s a rather tortuous one, of the kind town planners loved in the 60s. I believe that it was set down not so much to keep traffic moving as to keep the chavs in. Unable to work out how to get out, they lounge around the centre of town inbreeding. Realising the damage that was being done to the gene pool, the council recently legalised sexual relations between unrelated people in Redhill, but it will take several generations to reverse it.)
If you survive the ring road, the first thing you see is either a) McDonald’s, besieged at all hours by 12-year old proto-slappers with miniskirts fractionally above their fallopian tubes or b) the Abbot AKA the Stabbot, recently and pointlessly refurbished, mecca of Surrey chavs (see the spot-on review in BITE # pubs and bars - beerintheevening.com) and yet still far from being the worst pub in Redhill. That would be the Sun, cheapy Wetherspoon haunt of every local psycho and nutter. Or the Dog & Duck. Or plastic paddy hellhole O’Neills. Or – oh take your pick, they’re all f***ing terrible. Lidl and Iceland are the main stores, bien sur.
Get past all this and the rancid chip shops and you’re bang in the centre of town. Here, amid the paaahhhnd shops and general tat hangs out the biggest collection of Harry Ramps, Care in the Community victims and dopey looking ten-year old chavs in the making. I swear they all have EXACTLY the same jug ears and vacant stares.
One of the highlights of Redhill is a doorway behind the shops in which the sexual doings of the chavs are documented. Sadly ‘Paula Rice masturbates with carrots and broccoli’ and ‘Kayleigh Andrews is a fat slag and a horse that eats grass’ were erased some time ago, but the fact that Terry Hall sucks himself off cos he can’t get any is still live. Terry mate, you live in Redhill, you should get your kicks however you can.
Thursday is the pinnacle. Not only is it market day, it’s giro day and pension day and thousands of chavs come out of their ponds to gaze at mobile phaaaaaaaaaan covers and two for a fiver CDs of pan pipes and f*** knows what else. I have never seen a chavvier spectacle in all my life.
The weirdest thing is that Redhill runs into Reigate, the archetypal posh Surrey town, complete with Georgian market hall, nicey-nicey craft shops. To all intents and purposes they are the same place. It’s as if Reigate went out on the pull, woke up with a sore head and was too polite/scared to get rid of the rough-looking bird lying next to him in bed in the outsize burbery knickers.
That's the Reigatian upbringing coming home to roost.
The only positive thing I can say about Redhill is that my bike is parked outside the station daily, and I love my bike. Oh and the market is quite good.

I know that there is a certain amount of snobbery directed at Redhillians from Reigations but I should point out I’m no snob, I can find charm and good points in many a shit heap but I can’t find anything positive to say about Redhill, except perhaps the Garland pub.
In all honesty, I feel much the same. That review you posted isn't far off the mark, but it is harsh in some of what it says. Plenty of chavs in Redhill, but plenty of hardworking fairly normal people there too. And I love the market, especially in the summer. I can't honestly say that market day sees floods of chavs come out. It is also useful to live walking (or perhaps cycling) distance from a McHighstreet in all honesty, and have a direct train line to London locally too.
Blimey - I don't think redhill is that bad!!
It is a little chavvy - but its not as dirty and in a poor state of repair of many other towns. In fact the st johns area is lovely. Those reviews of the bad pubs in redhill are correct but the same crowd can be found coming out of the market hotel in reigate on the weekends too.

Sainsburys is quite handy for the station.

Love the thought of the town sign "Welcome to Redhill, it's not as bad a Bolton"

I've been working in Redhill for about 6 years and agree it's not pretty and there are a fair number of undesirables but no worse than Crawley. But I work on the industrial estate and venture into town once or twice a year. I drive but occasionally get the train from Hove, depending on time it's either 1 or 2 changes. Getting a train is worse in my book than working in Redhill.
Must have got even worse since I left Reigate nearly 10 years ago!
There are worse places than Redhill,it must be said.As far as I was concerned,the best thing/s about Redhill was the good rail connection to London and the ease with which I could get a taxi home from the station after a boozy session in the capital!Not much else to commend it although we used to enjoy the pantomimes at the Harlequin when the kids were small.As for pubs,the Red Lion just outside the centre wasn't bad....don't know what it is like now tho'!

Do you work on the Holmethorpe industrial estate Jello?
I worked in redhill for 8 years comuting from Worthing, brightons quite a good connection on the train BUT Redhill is an absolute hole, I live in Leeds and work in Manchester and I can honestly say redhill has the most densely populated level of thick ugly chavvie scumbags I have ever seen and I have been to some shitholes, if you can handle the pain and the torture of getting out of bed to go there then like me you should be at the very least be given a VC!
