Redhill, Surrey Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• Reigate Priory Park. Half-pipes great for boards and BMX.
• Iceland carpark... top floor preferably. Great for drinking out of the town center.
• You mean there are hookers in the hill?
• how many pubs and clubs are there in redhill?
• Abbott car park, for all us boyracers. A great place to watch the totty coming out of the Embo, having failed to pull someone with a higher IQ than a cabbage.
• Not A spot in town, but then again chicks in Redhill aint good anyway. Disasterous.
• Iceland carpark. If u go past iceland and stay on the left, until u find some steps, go to the top and u have urslef a drinking spot. The times that have been spent up there. Drinkin, smokin, throwing things off the top. Smashing bottles, u name it its been done up there. And iceland are suckers for the underage drinkers.
• Park bench, Memorial Park
• Halfords car park, for those who enjoy driving to the petrol station next door and back again (watch out for BP Dave) "anything else"?
• Bench outside McDonalds - Fight off the teenagers wearing Nickolson t-
• the benches outside McDs where greasy 15 y/o kevs hang out and try to look hard. whatever.
• The brick walls outside the flats in Timperly Gardens... anyone who knows hanging out there probably knows me, and probably helped kicked the walls down every time they were rebuilt, too... (if it was quite a few years ago...)
• C'mon guys... Redhill common is one of the best areas for drinking away fromthe scrying eyes of the local bobby... near the monument. Not too far from Whitepost Hill.
• Near the top exit to the Belfry Shopping centre, next to HSBC Bank, there are a few benches. If your lucky there will be the usual crowd of unwashed drunks & Pikies, special brew in hand, wolf whistling and trying to chat up anything that passes by.
• Well, there's really only one hook up spot in redhill, and thats round at old ralphies! How those kids used to laugh...
• The seats underneath the harlequin near the big issue man, also popular hangout of the Norwich man.
• The bench outside McDonalds where greasy-haired children in big coats throw chewing gum and cigarette ends at passers by.
• McDonalds and the bus terminus, where oversexed teenagers harass old folk.
• after 6:30pm it is knowhere everyone leaves rehill after they finish work. But if you really want to meet the locals try the sun (no music, no life, but hey it has fruit machines)
• Inside one of the many owned 'Daddy' Drunken Irishman doss house establishments, notably in Labroke Road a few doors along from the local kiddy fiddler Ralphie. Also 'The Bench' down the alleyway near Donyings, where many a good time was had!
• Any of the seats in the Warwick Quadrant shopping parade and the bottom of the steps to the Harlequin and Library.
• Streettalk - the local skate shop.
• Town centre, usually outside McDonalds.
• Redhill Common; a burnt out out stretch of land where all the 13 year olds set fire to the dried-up grass, spray paint the monument, and drink cider.
• Under the clock by the Harlequin Centre. If you are lucky you might even get a swig of Special Brew from the local dossers.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
