The Hive
Our clinic at The Hive is on Thursdays between 09:00 and 16:30 hrs (4:30pm). An appointment is needed.
The Hive is a council-operated community hub. One of the services available is a day centre for older residents of Guildford Borough. The centre is located on the edge of Guildford next to King’s College and close to Royal Surrey Hospital. It is well-served by bus services (see below) and Guildford Borough Council provided community transport services. There is free parking and it is easy to access the Hive from the A3 (Cathedral exit). The centre also has a café, a creche and friendly staff.

We are also very happy to help you find a way to get to us if you get in touch.
These two public transport websites can help you find routes which run from you to us, but we think it is also worth confirming with the bus company if it is the first time you are using a service (we give bus company details below):
