Crawley Halal Travel Guide

Crawley was a small town until 1947 when it was designated a New Town. Its population boomed in the 1950s and 1960s. The biggest influence on the town, however, is Gatwick Airport, which lays claim to being the 6th-busiest airport in the world.

While not known for its open-mindedness, a traveller may find lots to see and do in Crawley. From its wide range of mediocre chain shops to watching a good old-fashioned fist-fight in a vehicle park and there's something for everyone.
