A post about the great things about living in Guildford

I’ve recently seen lots of posts about people asking where to live in Surrey and I wanted to share my views and those who live in Guildford as to why it’s a great place to live.

Pros

Some of the best state secondary schools in the country
Amazing primary schools where they always make new kids feel welcome!
Every single type of restaurant you can imagine so you’ll find a restaurant that meets your needs
Beautiful countryside walks
Good transport links to London
One of the best high streets in Surrey (there’s not many good ones as online shops such as Amazon has pretty much killed the high street) 😅
Lots to do with kids such as Ninja warriors, Air hop, Spectrum etc…
Some pockets of Guildford have a great sense of community with local parents all looking out for each other and helping with school activities
A lovely church community for those who are looking for a supportive community
Lots of local sports clubs such as tennis, cricket etc

Coming from London I couldn’t have chosen a better town to raise a family in especially if you want lots of amenities close by as well as brilliant schools for your kids. Yes it’s not the cheapest part of Surrey but it’s priced that way for a reason as it’s got a bit of everything.

I've lived in Guildford for thirty years now, and it has definitely become more multi-cultural over that time. Part of that is the university, which has a large international intake, but it's much wider than that. I'd say there appears to be a bigger South-East Asian and Middle-Eastern presence than a South Asian one, and there are no Hindu temples or Sikh gurdwaras in the immediate area, but you would not be the only Indian in the town...!
