Getting there

Guildford's Law Courts are on Mary Road (GU1 4PS), about 10–15 minutes' walk from Guildford railway station, with regular services from Woking (around 10–25 minutes on South Western Railway). Local buses also connect Woking and surrounding Surrey towns to Guildford town centre. There is no customer parking at the court — use nearby public car parks. Plan to arrive well before your listed time — security takes longer than most people expect on a first visit.
