Woking is a town in the north-west part of Surrey that lies comfortably within London’s commuter belt. It’s a popular place to live and work, and like many towns in the South of England, has seen some consistent growth over the last few decades. Recent figures have shown an increase in population from 89,900 in 2001 to a current estimate of approximately 99,200.
Like many towns in the UK, Woking has a unique and interesting history. The crematorium, located at St. Johns, was the first-ever official crematorium in the UK, while a turn down Oriental Road will lead you to the first purpose-built mosque in the UK, The Shah Jahan Mosque.
In Woking’s town centre, strange sites such as a Wellsian Martian Tripod can be seen striding between the buildings in celebration of H.G. Wells’s book, The War of the Worlds, and the last Hawker Hunter ever built is mounted on a pole outside the Big Apple Leisure Centre.
Woking’s economy
McLaren Production & Technology Centre
Employment in Woking is mostly in the private sector, with many residents still commuting into London for work as well. By far the largest employer in Woking is the McLaren Group which is made up of McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive. In addition, Woking is also home to SABMiller as well as WWF-UK. These businesses add stability and diversity to Woking’s job market, contributing to steady growth which will most certainly continue into the future.
Home Mobility Services
