Born and raised here, it is a safe location to visit. I have never felt unsafe or in danger, even getting a taxi home late at night on my own or walking my dog in the dark in winter. It also has with plenty to do & a fast train to London Waterloo (35mins)

Precaution is the key. Of course things happen, but I haven't seen anything. I would say to be careful with crackheads for example, and not giving confidence. The High Street is very safe. As long you keep an eye, I don't think you need to worry about it. Usually I have my purse open and nothing happens. I felt safe as a woman and safe in terms of robbery.

Guildford is not too big, but there are plenty of fun stuff to do. I never felt threatened for walking alone after dark, even with my cellphone in my hands. Just not too comfortable around drunken guys.
Posted: December 12, 2024Pretty safe though you have to be careful in the night and in unlit areas or overgrown places. It is like most big towns. There can be violence in the centre in the evenings if big gangs get involved.
Posted: June 22, 2024Incredibly safe can walk all the way through city at night with no fear. Everyone is also quite friendly so I do not expect any issue whatsoever with safety, despite it being a very small town. Forest area seems also very safe
