Local area guide
Skip hire in Woking
Woking is a large town in north-west Surrey, about 25 miles south-west of central London, with a population of just over 100,000. Unlike many Surrey towns, modern Woking is quite young. The original village, now called Old Woking, lies a mile or so to the south-east and dates back to Saxon times. The present town centre grew up around the railway station after the London and Southampton Railway opened in 1838, and it expanded quickly from heathland into a busy commuter town.
Woking has several nationally significant firsts. The Shah Jahan Mosque, completed in 1889, was the first purpose-built mosque in Britain and is now Grade I listed. Woking Crematorium, opened in 1885, was the first crematorium in the country. Nearby Brookwood Cemetery was once the largest cemetery in the world. It was built to serve London and had its own railway, the London Necropolis Railway, running from Waterloo.
The town has a special place in science fiction. H.G. Wells lived in Woking in the 1890s and wrote The War of the Worlds there, with the Martians landing on nearby Horsell Common. A large Martian tripod sculpture stands in the town centre in tribute. Today Woking is also known for high-performance engineering. The McLaren Technology Centre, home of the McLaren Formula One team and McLaren Automotive, sits on the northern edge of the town.
Woking has plenty of open space for a large town. Horsell Common, the Basingstoke Canal towpath and the heathland around Chobham and Brookwood are popular with walkers, cyclists and dog owners. The Lightbox gallery and museum sits beside the canal in the town centre. The New Victoria Theatre and Peacocks Centre are also central, and major redevelopment in recent years has brought new shopping, hotels and residential towers to the skyline.
Woking is one of the best-connected commuter towns in the South East. Its station on the South Western Main Line has fast trains to London Waterloo in around 25 minutes, as well as frequent services to Guildford, Basingstoke and Portsmouth. The M25, M3 and A3 are all close by, and Heathrow Airport is a short drive away. Homes include Victorian and Edwardian houses in Horsell, St John's and Maybury, and large detached properties in leafy areas such as Hook Heath and Pyrford. There are also 1930s semis, post-war estates and a growing number of town-centre apartments.
