Crawley is a New Town in the North of Sussex. The town is situated on the M23 (London-Brighton corridor) about 5 miles South of London Gatwick International Airport. For historical reasons, the town of Crawley almost (but not quite) maps exactly onto the Borough of Crawley. For our purposes the town includes the built up area of Crawley whilst areas separated have their own categories, whether or not they are technically part of the town or not.
