Guildford is a urban community in New Westminster Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Guildford is located at 49.1917°N, 122.8000°W.

Guildford rests in a broad, fertile valley, a place where the land gently slopes towards the wide embrace of the Fraser River. It lies 24.1 km east-south-east of Vancouver, BC (from Vancouver, BC: bearing 109°T), and is situated 13.8 km east-south-east of Burnaby. Rolling hills, softened by the lush green of temperate rainforest, cradle the urban sprawl, their ancient trees whispering secrets carried on the damp, Pacific air. The sky here often wears a pearly sheen, a soft diffusion of light that lends a quiet luminescence to the landscape, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun begins its descent, painting the western horizon with subtle hues of rose and gold. The air itself carries the clean scent of pine and damp earth, a constant reminder of the abundant natural world that presses in close, even as the sounds of daily life hum around. This corner of the New Westminster Land District, known as Guildford, has long been a crossroads, its history shaped by the rhythms of the river and the bounty of the land. Indigenous peoples, the Coast Salish, have walked these paths for millennia, their deep connection to the watershed evident in the very contours of the earth. Later, settlers arrived, drawn by the rich soil and the promise of agricultural prosperity, establishing farms that still dot the periphery, their fields a patchwork quilt of cultivated life. The local economy, once anchored by logging and agriculture, has diversified, embracing retail and service industries, yet the echoes of its past persist. A notable landmark, the historic Port Mann Bridge, stands as a monument to connectivity, spanning the mighty Fraser and linking Guildford to the wider world, a constant, silent witness to the passage of generations and the enduring spirit of this place.
