Looking for help regarding student accommodation near uni of Surrey, or Guildford area. Any leads? I’ve applied for uni accommodation for Sep26 but I couldn’t find cheap options for around 160-190pw for en-suite rooms. Any help would be appreciated

Preferably bossman chicken, but a more restaurant style place will do

Thanks!

Looking for some more friends with shared interests as my current group are a little more the homebody type! I travel a lot, enjoy hiking, any physical activity! Even scuba and climbing.
Bonus points if your into dnb or metal/rock
Ideally women age 20-30 x

I wont make this a long post but I hope we find a few people who love techno in Surrey!

My friend is an upcoming Techno DJ, we actually do live streams on social media and have built out a decent following in the Techno space.

Trying to find a venue we came across The Miners Arms in Mytchett - we actually live closer to London (Around Walton-on-Thames, Sunbury) and thought this was the perfect place to host a techno event because of the light up dance floor!

It's from 6pm till 12pm on a Saturday night, as the resident dad-dancer I'm hoping someone can take that crown away from me! We're a welcoming bunch and want to get locals into our music!

It will be our first actual event so we're excited and hoping we can fill the space and if it goes well we'll be taking it all around Surrey as we find venues!

Morning all,

We are considering a move from Farncombe to Milford, but are unsure of the commuting situation from Milford Station (yes, we are part of the dreaded London commuters… I’m sorry!)

We are currently incredibly spoiled by being less than a 5 minute walk to Farncombe station, whereas most of the houses we have looked at in Milford are a 20min walk to Milford. Do people even do that, or do you all drive? Cycle? Scooter? Any secret shortcuts we should be aware of which might make a walk along a busy ish road in the inevitable rain in November any more appealing?

Thanks 😅

Hi, me and my partner are thinking of moving to Godalming, and I’d like the locals opinions on it. We are in our mid 20s, and like it because it’s somewhat rural and has a decent train line into London. Are there any dodgy areas we should avoid? Thank you!

So last week my head gasket conked out in Camberley, Surrey. This is about 2 hours from my home address in Kent. RAC pointed me in the direction of a scrap company called Redcorn and took me to Enterprise so I could hire a car and continue on my holiday.

Redcorn has offered me £150 (whatever, fine) but have said that they will pick it up on Wednesday with a time frame of 7am-5pm. I told them I am far away and they’ve said they will ‘try and give me notice’. They might manage to give an hours notice. Which is no help at all.

I’m pregnant, and even if I wasn’t I wouldn’t be up for travelling a total of 4 hours to wait in the heat for an additional possible 10 hours.
Anyone have any helpful suggestions as to how I might find another way to deal with this?! Travelling there is a pain but not the end of the world, it’s the crazy wait that I’m not down for!

Edited to add- apparently I do need to be there to show them ID!

Looking for something or someone I can ease myself into in the hopes of making friends. I can't commit to physical activities, or paid membership.

I'm 31, Mum to toddler, I drive, and I'm interested in nature, craft, DIY, pets, books, games, history. I'm also neurodivergent.

Anyone know where exactly?

Hello!

My wife (29) and I (30) are expecting our first baby soon and we're now trying to figure out where we want buy and settle down. We're currently renting in the Putney area which we absolutely love - it's well connected to the city, it has the river, lots of nature and decent restaurants and shops on our doorstep.

Our budget is £650-700k and we're ideally looking for a 3-bed with a garden and parking. We previously liked the look of Kingston, Surbiton, Teddington etc but after looking into it properly we realised we'd be lucky to get a tiny terrace with no parking and a small garden.

We recently visited Epsom and it has quickly become our favourite location that appears to tick all of our boxes. It's well connected into London which would make my 3 days a week in the office manageable and I especially like that you go direct to Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge! We like that is has a good enough town centre with some history, lots of nature on the doorstep, and our budget goes much further than anywhere else we've looked so far. We also have family down in East Dorset so being on the SW side of London is important for driving down to visit.

I know you shouldn't trust what you read online, but we've seen lots saying that the town centre isn't what it used to be, that parts of Epsom can be rough and there are a lot of new planned developments on greenbelt land.

So I guess what I'm looking for are peoples opinions on Epsom considering our situation, and whether there are any other areas we could consider that we might not have thought about? We had considered places like Guildford, Dorking etc but it's either a long or expensive commute!

Thanks so much in advance - looking forward to hearing what people have to say!

Looking for a space to bring my laptop and do some work. Any library or cafe will do, but I’m after one with an air conditioner and a strong desire to be in Antarctica

Literally looking for the coldest public space in Guildford!

Any recommendations?
