Albury is a village and civil parish in central Surrey, England, around 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Guildford.

The civil parish covers an area of 1,628 ha (6.3 sq mi) and includes the settlements of Albury Heath, Farley Green, Little London and Brook.

[3] The village has a post office and general shop, and the "Drummond at Albury" inn; Little London has another public house the, "William IV", which dates back to the 16th century.

The name is generally agreed to derive from the Old English words ald (old) and burh (fortification), which may refer to the Romano-British camp at Farley Heath in the south of the civil parish.

[8] Stone age artefacts found in the area include a flint blade,[9] an axe[10] and a scraper.

[13][14] The entry for Albury in Domesday Book indicates that the manor was held by Roger d'Abernon from Richard de Tonebrige.

[5][17] In 1842, Henry Drummond moved the rest of the village half a mile westward to what was originally the hamlet of Weston Street, where he also built a new church.

The proportion of households in the civil parish who owned their home outright compares to the regional average of 35.1%.

The 56-acre (23 ha) site, a former sand quarry to the north of the village, was adapted to hold household waste in storage cells lined with a waterproof membrane to prevent groundwater contamination.
