Nightlife in Woking
Woking is a commuter town rather than a city, and its evenings are quieter and more local than those in nearby Guildford or London. This guide describes what it really offers.
What to expect
Woking has a modest centre with restaurants, pubs and a few bars, and the pace is gentle once the working day is over. Plenty of residents head to Guildford or into London for a bigger night, and you may find the same is true for you. If a quiet dinner and a drink is what you want, the town does that well enough, and you will not spend long travelling between places.

Commercial Way and the streets by the station
The most convenient area is the strip of streets between the station and the main shopping area, where Commercial Way is one of the key roads. Restaurants and bars sit within a short walk of the trains, which makes it the logical base if you are arriving from elsewhere and leaving the same night.

Chertsey Road and further out
The road leading east out of the centre towards Chertsey has a scattering of pubs and eating places, though it feels more like a main road than a destination. Horsell and some of the nearby villages add local pubs with a settled, residential atmosphere. These are usually a short taxi from the centre, and they quieten quickly after dinner.

Trains, cabs and late journeys
Woking station is on the main line to London Waterloo, so the town is well placed for a visit, but the service is less frequent late in the evening. A smaller town also means fewer cabs waiting on the street at closing time, so book a licensed firm in advance, and confirm the driver by name and plate when the car turns up. Avoid walking along unlit roads between suburbs.

Frequently asked questions
Not on the scale of a city. It suits dinner and a drink, and for a bigger night most people head to Guildford or London.
Book a licensed cab ahead, because few wait on the street late, and check the last train home on the line towards London Waterloo before you set off.
