Godalming

Godalming is an historic market town, civil parish and administrative centre of the Borough of Waverley in Surrey, England, 4 miles south-south-west of Guildford and 30.5 mi south-west of London. It traverses the River Wey in the Greensand Ridge – a hilly, wooded part of London's Metropolitan Green Belt. In 1881, it was the world's first place to have public electricity supplies and electric street lighting.
It is an affluent residential town due to its visual appeal, favourable transport links and high proportion of private housing. In 2007 it was voted fourth-best UK area in which to live. Waverley borough, which includes Godalming, was judged in 2013 to have the highest quality of life in Britain, and in 2016 to be the most prosperous.
Godalming shares a three-way twinning with Joigny in France and Mayen in Germany. There are friendship links with the US state of Georgia and with Moscow.
