Surrey 2012 Visitors' Guide

Welcome to Surrey 2012. The London Olympics in 2012 is not just about London. Whilst you are here, Britain has a wonderful Heritage and plenty to do, so explore the country and, especially, Surrey in 2012.

History

Surrey as a Shire came into existence in 860 when it was annexed from Wessex. The Administrative County of Surrey was created in 1889. In modern times, Surrey has crept Northwards as Outer London has crept Southwards, blurring the boundaries in places such as Richmond and Kingston.

Attractions

Guildford is Surrey's largest Town, with Woking second .Its proximity to London probably acts as a drag on the development of smaller attractions, but the larger ones, which could not be built in London can be found here. Thorpe Park and Chessington World of Adventures are easy to reach, being just off the M25. Runnymede, at Egham was the location of the signing of the Magna Carta and is worth a visit. Further afield, Legoland is just outside Windsor and within easy reach. Heathrow and Gatwick provide 'plane spotting facilities for those so inclined.

When we started our first website in 1997, we had a very clear-cut mission: to take the simple process of selling attraction tickets online - and do it extraordinarily well.
 
We also believed that online customers should benefit from our use of cutting-edge technology and never pay more than the face value of any ticket and also profit from discounts when buying tickets for more than one attraction in the same transaction.
 
As the years have gone by, we have maintained our gate price or less policy and have gone much further offering significant discounts on many attractions. Now into our second decade online, we have significantly extended our international product range and introduced tickets for major UK exhibitions.
 
All Tickets and Services sold by 365 Tickets Limited and its affiliate sites are contracted by and supplied to 365 Tickets directly or by an authorised regional agent. As no middle-men are involved, we are always able to sell at gate price or better. Because of our unique position of having contracts with a large number of different suppliers, we are able to offer many money-saving combination packages that are not available elsewhere.

Thorpe Park is a great place for a day out (or more!). It is situated on the M25 to the South West of London and is easily accessible from the M25, M4 and M40.
 
There are rides to suit all ages, from gentle family fun right up to the thrill seekers. Either way you will not be disappointed.
 
Queuing is reasonable, although at peak season it is best to seek out the popular rides early in the day before they get too busy.
 
There is a beach area with apaddling pool, some small slides and sand for the little ones to play in - older children are discouraged by the attendants.
 
If you know you are going to visit, it is well worth booking in advance. You can save 25 - 30% on the price even if you book just 24 hours before (you will be issued with a e-ticket online that you need to print and take with you). In addition, the prepaid queeue is shorther by far than the 'pay on the day' queue! Follow the link for pricing and booking.
