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.

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

Guildford, in which I live, is probably the principle town. Surrey CC did
want to move County Hall there saome 20 years ago, but a legal challenge
to
their use of a particular site stopped that dead. There is now a plan to
move to Woking.

Is that back on again

It was abandoned at least 5 years ago due to lack of money
