Westborough is a residential ward to the north‑west of Guildford in Surrey, characterised by a mix of post‑war council housing and private homes, local shopping parades and pockets of green space. The area feels more suburban than the historic town centre, with a diverse community and everyday amenities serving families and commuters alike.
It lies within easy reach of Guildford town centre and its larger shops and rail connections, while the surrounding countryside, including the Surrey Hills, is a short drive away. Historically expanded as part of 20th‑century suburban growth, the ward today combines practical local services, active community groups and straightforward links into central Guildford and on towards London.
