Burpham North & Merrow East

Burpham North & Merrow East lie east of Guildford town centre and are primarily residential wards with a mix of housing from interwar terraces to post‑war estates and newer developments. Local parades and small shopping hubs provide everyday services, and the area is served by regular bus routes into town. Several primary schools and community centres sit within the wards, and health and leisure facilities are a short walk or ride away. Road links give straightforward access to the surrounding Surrey network while streets open onto quieter lanes and cul‑de‑sacs used by neighbours for daily routines.

Green space is a constant feature: small commons, playing fields and allotments sit between housing areas and connect to longer public footpaths across the southern slopes of the North Downs. Merrow Recreation Ground is used for local sport and hosts a long‑standing cricket club that plays in the summer months, and community groups organise seasonal events on the greens. The area’s pattern of shops, schools and leisure spaces supports a settled, local feel while offering direct pedestrian and cycle routes into Guildford.
