Surrey is situated to the south of London and originally stretched from Wimbledon in the north-east to Guildford in the south-west. Part of the north-east of the county has been absorbed into Greater London, although Surrey did also gain part of the old county of Middlesex (Spelthorne). The county town is Guildford, but until 2020 County Hall was still located in the original county town of Kingston-upon-Thames. Kingston was part of the historic county of Surrey until 1965, but is now the principal town in the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, which is part of Greater London. The Surrey History Centre is located in Woking and holds the historic records for Surrey. The map below shows the old county of Surrey during the 19th century. Click on the map for a larger version.
