Godalming Central & Ockford sits at the heart of Godalming in the borough of Waverley, Surrey, hugging the banks of the River Wey. The ward combines the historic high street and town-centre streetscape with the more residential Ockford slopes and estates, so you get a mix of Georgian and Victorian terraces, later suburban housing and some protected conservation areas and riverside green space.
Locally the area has a busy, independent-minded feel: cafés, family-run shops and regular markets share space with small businesses and community groups, while many residents commute to Guildford or London for work. Its riverside setting and surviving historic buildings give it a strong sense of local identity, and a lively civic and voluntary sector helps keep festivals, markets and neighbourhood projects well supported.
