The village was situated around the Brighton Road (now the A217) and the crossroads with Buckland Road/Smithy Lane, the centre being where the Fox On The Hill pub, now an Indian restaurant and takeaway, and the Church of the Wisdom of God are located.

Before the upgrading of the A217 Brighton Road to a dual carriageway, there was a pond outside the pub, where horses would frequently stop to drink after climbing the hill and before progressing on to Reigate.

The name “Lower Kingswood” dates back to the reign of King Henry VIII.

The football club is named Kingswood Terriers FC and they play in the local Epsom and Ewell Youth League.

There is a recreation ground opposite Rookery Way, which includes a play park, bike ramps and football pitches.
