Discover Guildford
Guildford is the county town of Surrey, set on the River Wey where it cuts through the North Downs. The cobbled High Street, the castle and the hilltop cathedral give it a distinct character, and the University of Surrey and the Surrey Research Park add to a busy commercial and residential economy. Merrow, Burpham and Park Barn are among the surrounding neighbourhoods, with Godalming and Woking nearby. People need to be in Guildford for work in the town, across Surrey and for commuting into the capital. The A3 runs alongside it, and fast rail links reach London Waterloo in around thirty five minutes. The area offers a good range of shops, restaurants and everyday services close to where people are working. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Guildford and handles the whole search through one point of contact.
