Surrey Photo Gallery

Surrey is located west of London with interesting towns, historic artifacts, and rolling hills. Well-connected by trains from London, there are many day trip options worth visiting.

Farnham Castle was built by wealthy bishops and once served as a stop between London and Winchester. It became the bishop's principal residence after 1660 and hosted many English monarchs over the years.

The Museum of Military Medicine traces over several hundred years into the modern era until the building ran out of room for more, as the friendly staff put it.

Guildford is a good pit stop while exploring Surrey's historic attractions. It has a beautiful High Street and a castle.

Guildford Cathedral is a fairly recent building, opening in 1961 on a hill overlooking the town.

Guildford's historic buildings include Abbot's Hospital, Holy Trinity Church, the 17th century Guildford House, and St. Mary's.

Waverley Abbey is the first Cistercian monastery in the country. Founded in 1128 by French monks, the monastery was rebuilt in the 13th century and continued to grow. By the 16th century, the Dissolution forced the abbey to be dismantled.

Kingston upon Thames is located upstream from London with a nice riverside. It was a medieval market town thanks to its bridge across the Thames that was completed in the 12th century, although the current one was built in the early 19th.

Brooklands Museum sits on a former aircraft manufacturing site that saw nearly 19,000 British-made planes take to the skies. A number of historic aircraft are on display and even allow access to their interiors, such as the Concorde, VC10, and BAC 1-11.

In the 1960s, a few private bus owners with preserved vehicles came together to form the London Bus Preservation Group, and bought a former aircraft factory in Cobham to store their buses and exhibit them in a museum. The building's condition deteriorated and Brooklands Museum kindly offered a large plot of vacant land for a new London Bus Museum, which opened in 2011.
