r/surrey

Hey, I'm in the Guildford godalming area and looking for fairly cheap date ideas, open to doing anything, preferably activities over restaurants though.

Any ideas would be appreciated :)

Are you interested in doing Lagree? I’m researching whether to open a Lagree studio in Surrey (like hardcore reformer Pilates). Curious who’s familiar with this style - it’s unclear to me how much of a marketing / awareness challenge I’ll have with Lagree.

Thanks!

We have just moved into a property near Guildford. There is an unlit pedestrian passage down the side of our house and garden which Surrey County Council have confirmed they have adopted. It is overgrown with weeds and hedging that is pushing our fencing down and providing places for rapscallions to hide. Does anyone have experience of attempting to prompt SCC into action? I realise they are not a personal, bespoke service but just wanted to get an idea of how responsive they are. Thanks.

Hi all,

My partner and I are looking to purchase our first house in Surrey. Her family are based in Wandsworth so want to be relatively close. I’m also a golf addict eyeing up Fox Hills so close enough to there would be a bonus!

What are the best towns for first time buyers/good transport links to London/bang for buck etc?

Don’t know the area at all so any help would be massively appreciated!

Does anyone have recommendations for your old school Man (or Women) With a Van to help with an up and coming flat move?

Looking for help, as I’ve put in a few enquiries to tattoo shops in Epsom online and not heard back.

Would any recommend tattoo artists, I’m in Tadworth, so Epsom seems logical, but anyone within a reasonable distance is fine.

Nothing too fancy, but me and my partner want to get tattoos for our kids (and I want a second if Arsenal close out the title 👀👀)

Is there anyone who’s recommended?

Please help me decide on where to live

Essex or surrey for nature and parks

I also want nice gyms

My budget doesnt matter

And good quality homes

Lookin for 1 bedroom humble but newly built

I move around alot but want to be settled

I am 30 years old single women

I like modern energy but i also dont mind the area to be old fashioned, i just want my home inside to be modern but i dont want to be in a village like farnham i felt a bit bored when i was there

I havent heard good stuff about woking , and their properties being bad quality

I am very conflicted

I also am open to areas bordering south london

How is orpington or reigate and them kind of areas

Dealbreakers are loud planes and being too close to an airport i get overstimulated by aircraft noise

For loads of fresh nature and wildlife
For apartments
Nice gyms

Hiya

Any recommendations for barbers who are good with slightly longer hair and good with scissor work?

Trying to do a flow hairstyle.

I normally always get a skin fade so this is new for me and my usual barbers are good with fades but not much else.

Would love any recommendations

Thank you!

I live in Reigate. We love it here, but constantly bemoan the lack of a real private health club - the kind with nice changing rooms, pool, spa and sauna, maybe racquet sports. It's got to be the one of the most affluent places in the UK to not have one. If the number of people drinking £6 coffees outside Gails every day, sending their kids to private school and driving around in Masaratis and Mclarens is a measure, there is clearly lots and lots of disposable income around and yet the only local pool is at the dismal Donyngs or tiny Nutfield priory that currently isn't even offering weekend memberships. It's a super healthy and sporty town- active park run, lots of BMF type exercise groups in the park, massive annual 5 and 10k races and very active outdoor swimming lake. So I'm wondering if anyone knows why the private health club companies (Nuffield, David Lloyd, Virgin etc) haven't targeted the town? Everyone I speak to says they would join a club if it were here.

I am coming from essex to surrey

Woking is nice and quiet and i like how its relaxed and naturey, but i want some other options

Is there anywhere similar to woking

Somewhere that has people with money and no crime. But also good for a young person in late 20s

I was thinking also sutton? Because its nearer to london?

But not sure what its like there?

Is there any areas around here that would suit me

I must add im unsure on being close or further from londom but i do enjoy how relaxing woking is and i like that its boring.
So based off that where would you suggest me to go?

Budget isnt a problem it is for research purposes for now

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well :)

I am new to Staines Upon Thames, and I enjoy playing sports.

I recently bought a senior league cricket ball and want to do some bowling for fun not looking to join a match.

Is there any place where I can go bowling without worrying about it flying around and hitting someone.

Any kind of lead is very helpful and if you want to join you are most welcome.

Thanks

I've got a job offer based on Horsham and it seems driving is the best bet as it's roughly an hour during rush hour. I'm just wondering if that's optimistic and if there are any pitfalls in the journey?

I'm partially considering not taking the offer and sticking to commuting to London. While it costs more, it is offset by a slightly higher salary and it feels quicker - even though that isn't always the case. So I would love to hear if anyone has experienced it directly and if it's better or worse than the Google maps estimate.

Which is better to live in?
