About Woking
Woking is a city. Location: Woking District, Surrey. Population: 103,900. Elevation: 39 m.
Woking ( WOH-king) is a town and borough in north-west Surrey, England, around 23 mi (36 km) from central London. It appears in Domesday Book as Wochinges, and its name probably derives from that of a Saxon landowner. The earliest evidence of human activity is from the Palaeolithic, but the low fertility of the sandy local soils meant that the area was the least populated part of the county in 1086.
