Guildford in General

Guildford is a historical and rural place to live which is inhabited by between sixty five and seventy thousand people. It is situated in the south east of England just off the North Downs and surrey hills. The town is just a short distance from the canal that runs through the bottom end of the town.

It's a pretty town by day, sometimes no so pretty by night! For a twenty something like me it has a lot to offer. Here's my twentysomething's guide to Guildford...

My girlfriend lives in Guildford so i know it quite well. It is a large town with loads of shops and places to see.

Guildford boasts and excellent ...  Read the complete review

If I had to move anywhere any the country, then Guildford would be pretty near the top of my list. That isn't necessarily because of what it offers, but because of its location. The railway station is very close to the town with regular trains too and from London. There are also regular services to Reading and to stations on the South Coast. The town also has a good number of car parks and is easily accessed from the major routes. I find that the town is compact and has all the major high street shops that one would expect. This is supplemented by some smaller boutique type shops offering a variety of goods and services for the more specialist ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Guildford nearly all my life and like most other people I find my home-town boring, with nothing to do, but after reading this review this should hopefully make your mind up whether you'd like to move here, have a day trip shopping or just go for a night out here. Guildford is located in the south east of England close to the M25 (9 miles from Guildford), the major airports at Heathrow and Gatwick and a frequent rail service from London waterloo, ensures that Guildford and the surrounding area remains easily accessible to both leisure and business visitors.
