About Woking
Woking is a town and borough located in north-west Surrey, approximately 23 miles from central London. With roots tracing back to the Domesday Book, its modern development began in the mid-1860s following the establishment of the railway station, which spurred significant growth and infrastructure improvements, including the Wey Navigation and Basingstoke Canal. Today, Woking offers a blend of historical significance and contemporary urban planning opportunities, making it a key area for potential development projects. The town has a population of approximately 62,796 (2001 estimate). It sits within the Woking district.
Woking covers an area of approximately 63.6 km². The surrounding landscape and character of the area play an important role in how planning applications are assessed by the local authority.
There are currently no active flood warnings for the Woking area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Woking a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
