Woking Local Information
Woking is a large town with borough status in the County of Surrey.
The history of Woking dates back to AD673 when it was a settlement
of a Wessex tribe, followers of Wocca. The town has been known under
various different names over the ages. Woking has excellent rail
links and has now become a popular commuter town for people working
in London.
In 1651, the Wey Navigation Canal was opened for traffic from Guildford
to the River Thames. This encouraged residential development in
the area. The railway arrived in 1838 securing the town’s
future as a commuter town.
Woking has an excellent pedestrianised shopping centre that includes
the Wolsey and Peacock shopping centers and an open-air market.
Night life in the town is centered around the Chertsey Road area.
Here you’ll find several restaurants and bars as well as the
Ambassadors Cinemas and the New Victoria Theatre.
The McLaren Formula One racing team has its base near Woking as
does Raikkonen Robertson Racing, the Formula Three team begun by
Kimi Raikkonen.
Probably the most famous resident of Woking was the author H. G.
Wells. In his book, ‘The War of the Worlds’ the Martians
landed at Horsell common near Woking. There is a large sculpture
of a Martian spaceship in the town that immortalizes this incident.
