Filming in Guildford
Guildford and the surrounding area provide a beautiful and diverse location for film makers with rolling Surrey countryside, historic buildings, quaint villages as well as modern townscapes, a thriving university and business park and an historic High Street.
We are also home to a number of tourist attractions including National Trust properties and the Elizabethan stately home, Loseley House.
We have played host to numerous BBC dramas, television series and films and as a result, we are proud to be a film-friendly location.
