We describe a simple way of obtaining horizon entropy using the approach based on the Virasoro algebra and central charge. We show that the Virasoro algebra defined by the Noether currents corresponding to the surface term of gravitational action, for the diffeomorphisms which leave the horizon structure unaltered, has a central extension that directly leads to the horizon entropy. In this approach there are no ambiguities in the calculation of the central charge. We explain why this approach is physically well motivated and could provide greater insight into the nature of horizon entropy.

Spacetime structure near generic horizons and soft hair
A family of horizon boundary conditions labeled by s yields BMS-like algebras with spin-s supertranslations, while another choice gives a non-linear Heisenberg-like algebra whose generators build the BMS-like ones.
