It is located on the banks of the River Wey in a hilly, heavily wooded part of the London commuter belt and Green Belt. Godalming is regarded as an expensive residential town, partly due to its visual appeal and good transport links.

Car Wash in Portsmouth Road

Fond memories of that Rose Royce song: was it really 1976? However, in the 21st Century, if you get your car washed for a pittance it could well be your car washers are being exploited. Here is a link to help identify an unethical operation Link

Chippie in Portsmouth Road

Fish and chip shops are a great British institution. In the 16th century Iberian refugees in London began selling white fish fried in a thin coat of flour. Friday became a particularly busy day as both Jews and Catholics wanted cooked fish that day. A hundred years later, Hugenots brought their fondness for fried potato to the capital. Joseph Malin opened the first chippy in Bethnal Green during the 1860s. Today there are more than 10,000 in England alone.

Bus stop at the junction of Guildford and Portsmouth Roads

Bus stops range from a simple sign with the number of the bus and the company operating the service to elaborate structures that have an architectural pedigree all of their own. These days they are often linked via computer to the bus and the depot and display the waiting time in minutes.
