Boundaries
The constituency covers Guildford and the surrounding area in the county of Surrey. After the decision of the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which reported for the 2010 general election, the electoral wards used to create the new seat were:
- From the Borough of Guildford:- Burpham, Christchurch, Friary and St Nicolas, Holy Trinity, Merrow, Onslow, Pilgrims, Shalford, Stoke, Stoughton, Westborough, Worplesdon;
- From the Borough of Waverley:- Alfold, Cranleigh Rural and Ellens Green, Blackheath and Wonersh, Cranleigh East, Cranleigh West, Ewhurst, Shamley Green and Cranleigh North
In the mid-19th century, the constituency covered the city of Guildford.
As part of the Sixth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which commenced in 2011, the Boundary Commission for England proposes only minor changes to the Guildford seat which would leave the seat compromising Guildford and Cranleigh.

—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
