The List

The Boileroom

The Boileroom was founded back in 2006 by a group who wanted to promote music, creative arts and club events in the city. Now, the venue has a well-earned reputation as one of the best live music venues in the south east. There is a restaurant -- Smokey Joe's -- on site, offering hot dogs, sandwiches and burgers for all tastes. There are free car parks available three minutes from The Boileroom, while the Guildford Friary Bus Station and Guildford Train Station are short walks away. Trains to London and Portsmouth are regular.
