Woking Council

Welcome to Woking - a modern town which is evolving into one of the most vibrant places to live, do business and visit in South England.

Situated just half an hour from London Waterloo by a frequent train service, the green and leafy Borough is surrounded by attractive waterways and the internationally renowned Horsell Common, featured in HG Wells’ literary classic ‘The War of the Worlds’.

The compact, traffic-free Woking Town Centre features free WIFI in its two modern undercover shopping malls and daily artisan market.

The Borough’s annual cultural programme, Celebrate Woking, welcomes thousands of visitors to its free family-friendly events, including the annual Woking Food and Drink Festival.
