Selling model kits in Guildford
Guildford is a Surrey town with a steep cobbled high street, a castle keep, a twentieth-century cathedral on the hill above and a university beside it. It has a significant video games and technology cluster and is expensive and heavily commuter-led.
The university clears student housing each summer, and the games and technology sector moves staff on project cycles. Home-office and gaming equipment turns over faster here than the town’s size suggests.
The cobbled high street is steep and largely pedestrianised, so agree a spot at the bottom for anything large. Frequent trains up to London make it easy to pass something small over near the station.
