With about 1.2 million people, Surrey is the 12th-most populous English county which is divided into eleven districts. Guildford is commonly observed as the county town, although Surrey County Council is currently based in Reigate.

Three major motorways pass through the county, M25, M3 and M23, that easily make your travel to nearby counties and popular cities possible. Also, there are a number of national rail roots that enable long-distance journeys smooth and fast. The major stations in the county are Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Redhill and Staines.
