Notes Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

London Road (Guildford) railway station is situated in the east of Guildford in Surrey, England, lying close to the suburbs of Merrow and Burpham. It is 28 miles 47 chains (46.0 km) down the line from London Waterloo.

The station is managed by South Western Railway, who also provide all train services.

It is situated on the New Guildford Line between Waterloo and Guildford via Cobham, although some trains operate via Epsom rather than Cobham.

The parenthesised Guildford is to avoid confusing the station with the similarly named London Road (Brighton). The name was previously changed to "London Road, Guildford" from "London Road" in 1923 when operation of the line was taken over from the London and South Western Railway by the Southern Railway, which then ran all the railways in South East England.^[1]
