About

Canalside ward is situated along the Basingstoke Canal, which defines its western boundary and provides a distinct linear character. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types ranging from older terraced homes to modern apartment developments. Its layout is shaped by the waterway and several major roads, including the A320, which runs through its centre. The presence of the canal towpath offers a continuous route for walking and cycling, connecting different parts of the neighbourhood.

Woking town centre lies directly to the east, making this a practical location for access to shopping and transport links like the mainline railway station. The ward contains some local commercial premises along its main roads and areas of green space, including the grounds of the former Woking Palace site near Old Woking. This historical connection to the medieval royal residence is reflected in local street names and provides a quiet, green enclave amidst the more built-up sections.
