Guildford is a town in England 43 kilometers in the south-west direction from London. The town is adjacent to lovely countryside that can be enjoyed on the road even if the traveler has no car, through a very effective car rental business in the area. It is the home to a few notable personalities including the drummer/backing vocalist for Queen, Roger Taylor and was the home of the iconic writer Lewis Carrol of the "Alice and wonderland" fame. The climate of Guildford is quite cold, with an average yearly temperature not exceeding 12 degrees. Transport services in the town are limited to mainly rail and bus.
In the case of a business visit this may not be suitable as the nearest airport is the Farnborough airport which is close to 12 kilometers away. Due to the distance from the airport, car rental schemes are very popular. Another reason is because the town is well connected by road, this makes train journeys less agreeable to some people.
The Radisson Blu Edwardian is an exceptional hotel in the town where premium lodging services can be enjoyed. Guildford is home to the campus of Surrey University and therefore, houses many students as well. Students often enjoy travelling and utilize the services that are prevalent in the town to sneak off for a road trip to a festival or the neighboring towns and cities every now and then. It enjoys a relatively closer position to the sea and all its harbors with the city of Portsmouth being around 25 kilometers away. If you are staying in Guildford a visit to the shore would be a good idea. In case you do not have transport you may rent a car and cruise along the many shoreline options such as Brighton, Portsmouth etc. The town is also very close to the Sutton Green Golf Course. Those interested in enjoying a nice time on the green fields of the golf course can travel with a few hours car hire and enjoy a calm golfing session. The Guildford cricket club is another major travel destination, with local matches happening all the time. Travelling there for the purpose of watching, participating or even scouting the game can be done by car rental to take advantage of the well-connected road system. Being a terrific location, it is a great place to visit as an early summer destination.
