Old Woking represents the original heart of the settlement, situated about a mile and a half southeast of the modern town centre. While the main town grew rapidly around the railway station in the Victorian era, this area retains a quieter, more village-like feel, bounded to the south by the broad floodplains of the River Wey. At its core is St Peter’s Church, a building with eleventh-century origins that still houses one of the oldest wooden doors in the country. The High Street is a mix of narrow lanes and historic cottages, though it serves as a busy local artery connecting towards Sellars Bridge and the A247. To the east lie the ruins of Woking Palace, once a Tudor royal residence, now a protected archaeological site accessible via a footpath across the meadows. It’s a practical location for those who want easy access to the station and amenities of the town, but prefer being within walking distance of the Wey Navigation and the open green spaces that separate the built-up areas from nearby Send and Ripley.
