Nightlife in Guildford
Guildford is a hilly county town on the River Wey, with a cobbled high street and London about forty minutes away. Here is how its nights out divide.
The High Street and its lanes
The cobbled High Street climbs from the river past the Guildhall clock, and the lanes off it, such as Tunsgate, hold smaller bars and restaurants. It is the most attractive part of the town after dark and suits an evening that starts with a meal.

North Street
North Street runs parallel to the High Street and carries a busier mix of bars and places to eat. It is an easy walk from one to the other, and together they make up most of the town centre's evening.

Bridge Street and the station side
Bridge Street, between the river and the station, is where the later, louder venues gather. It is the obvious stop if you arrive by train, and the liveliest part of the town at the weekend.

The riverside
The River Wey runs through the bottom of the town, past the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. The towpath is pleasant in the early evening, but it is dark and quiet later on, so keep to the streets after a late night.

Getting home safely, and planning around a booking
Trains to London Waterloo take around forty minutes, but late services are fewer, so check the last train before you go out. The town is steep, so allow time for the walk up from the station. Use a licensed taxi, check the badge and share the journey with a friend. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
