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


you may be right. I seem to remember reading that the WWF were moving onto
that site.
