Selling a varsity jacket 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.

Guildford, in England, has around 77,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
