The charming UK town where Emily in Paris star Lily Collins grew up
Just a 40-minute journey from London, Guildford is not only a popular commuter town but also a charming staycation spot. With its rich history, stunning landscapes and a plethora of activities, it offers an idyllic retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.
Guildford, Surrey's largest town, has roots dating back to Saxon times around 500AD. Today, it boasts numerous historical sites, including a Norman castle and a striking hilltop cathedral.
Stoke Park is the ideal location for a brisk autumn stroll. If the weather turns sour, Guildford Spectrum provides a range of indoor activities, from ice skating and swimming to tenpin bowling.
And after a day of exploring Guildford, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options. Alongside well-known chains like Nando's and Wagamama, local favourites include Kalm Kitchen, The Ivy Castle View and Burrito Loco.
