About Guildford
Guildford is one of Perth's oldest and most historic suburbs, located approximately 13 kilometres north-east of the Perth CBD in the City of Swan. With a population of around 2,040 residents across 3.2 square kilometres, it sits along the Swan River near its confluence with the Helena River. The suburb is broadly heritage-listed, preserving a rich collection of colonial-era buildings, verandah-fronted shops and nineteenth-century residences that give it a distinctive character unlike almost anywhere else in metropolitan Perth.
The historic Guildford townsite offers a walkable village centre with antique shops, cafés, galleries and the iconic Rose & Crown Hotel. Residents enjoy proximity to the Swan Valley wine region, the Woodbridge House historic estate and extensive riverside parklands. The suburb attracts history enthusiasts, families and professionals who value its village charm combined with strong public transport links to the Perth CBD.
Guildford falls under postcode 6055 and is governed by Swan Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Midland electorate.
