Pilgrims is a largely residential ward on the eastern side of Guildford in Surrey, England, characterised by a mix of interwar and more recent housing and convenient pockets of green space. Its location gives residents easy access to riverside towpaths and woodland on the edge of the Surrey Hills, while remaining only a short bus or car journey from the centre of Guildford.
The ward has a quiet, community-focused feel with local shops, schools and volunteer groups serving day-to-day needs, and many people commute into Guildford town centre, to the University of Surrey or to London and nearby business parks. Although not a tourist centre itself, it benefits from proximity to Guildford’s historic market town amenities and the broader economic pull of the county.
