In 1838 when the railway arrived, Woking town centre was open heathland. The town developed in a fairly piecemeal fashion and had reached a form of completion by the mid-1980s, when redevelopment began again. A short-lived town centre swimming pool disappeared as part of those changes, to be replaced by the Pool in the Park. The present form of the town centre, including the modern library, the Peacocks shopping centre, and the refashioned Wolsey Way centre date from that time.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The most successful London bus ever was not the Routemaster, beloved of Boris Johnson, but its predecessor, the Regent Type, or RT, of which over 7000 were built, including minor variants. This nicely preserved example, in the livery of London Transport's Country Bus fleet, was seen in Woking.
