Godalming, Market town in Surrey, England

Godalming extends along the River Wey, featuring over 350 listed buildings across five conservation areas within the Surrey Hills National Landscape.

The settlement originated in Saxon times and received a royal charter from King John in 1207, establishing its role as a significant trading center.

The town maintains numerous Tudor and Georgian structures, including the octagonal Pepperpot building from 1814 that replaced the medieval market house.

The railway station provides direct connections to London Waterloo and Portsmouth, while multiple bus routes serve the neighboring towns and villages.

In 1881, Godalming became the first location worldwide to implement both public and residential electrical lighting systems.
