Woking
town
Woking is a major Surrey town located near the junction of the Wey Navigation and the Basingstoke Canal. While not directly on the River Wey, the town provides excellent access to both waterways and serves as a transport hub for the region. The Basingstoke Canal runs through the town centre, and the Wey is accessible via towpath walks through Pyrford. Woking has undergone significant regeneration with modern shopping, dining, and the distinctive Victoria Square development. The Shah Jahan Mosque, Britain's first purpose-built mosque, and the Muslim Burial Ground are notable historic features.
