Redhill is a town in the Reigate and Banstead borough of Surrey, England and is part of the London commuter belt. It came into being when a road was built in 1818. The settlement was originally known as Warwick Town and became known as Redhill when the post office moved from Red Hill Common in 1856. It is part of the Reigate and Banstead local government district. As of May, 1997 Redhill's MP is Crispin Blunt, the Conservative MP for Reigate. A psychiatric hospital there, Royal Earlswood Hospital (now closed), was home, for more than 40 years, to two of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's nieces, Katherine Bowes-Lyon and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon, both of whom were mentally retarded and largely unable to speak.
