Guildford Guildhall, Municipal building on High Street in Guildford, England

The Guildhall features a Georgian facade with three mullion windows flanked by Ionic pilasters and three entrance doors at ground level.

The structure, dating from 1550, underwent substantial modifications in 1683 when public subscriptions funded the addition of a council chamber and new facade.

The interior displays an art collection including portraits of historical figures, with King James VI and I depicted in a painting by Paul van Somer.

The building opens for guided tours twice per week and functions as a venue available for private events and community gatherings.

The projecting clock installed in 1683 by John Aylward extends from the facade, marking time for High Street pedestrians for over three centuries.
