Medieval undercroft between West Street and Slipshoe Street, Reigate is a vaulted basement chamber of medieval date located in the town centre of Reigate, Surrey. The structure survives beneath street level and represents a significant example of medieval commercial or domestic architecture, with its stone vaulting indicating substantial construction typical of high-status townhouses or merchant premises from the medieval period. The undercroft's location between two principal streets suggests it formed part of an important property in Reigate's medieval urban hierarchy, likely serving storage or service functions beneath the main building above. The survival of such subterranean structures provides archaeological evidence for understanding medieval urban development and building practices in this Surrey market town.
