Guildford.co Editorial15 July 2026

The Friary is Guildford's main indoor shopping centre, on North Street in the town centre.

Getting There

The Friary connects directly to Bedford Road multi-storey car park via a pedestrian link bridge from level 3, making it straightforward to reach by car. It's also a short walk from Guildford High Street and the town's bus routes.

Nearby

The cobbled High Street, Guildford Castle and the River Wey are all within easy walking distance of The Friary, making the area a natural base for a day out in Guildford.
