What is/was Surrey's county town?

I think he's referring to Kingston which is correct on both counts as Surrey
County Council is still HQ'd there even though it is now outside Surrey.

Only partially correct, "was" would be Guildford if you go back far

Many consider Guildford to be the principle town now, but I cannot find
anything to back this up officially.

See above for the reason why.
