About

Horsell ward encompasses a residential area northwest of Woking town centre, characterised by a mix of housing from different periods. The layout includes quiet, tree-lined streets and larger properties set back from the roads. Local commerce is focused along Horsell High Street, which provides essential shops and services for the community. The ward contains several schools and recreational green spaces, including Horsell Common, which forms a significant part of its western boundary.

A notable aspect is the area's connection to literary history, as parts of Horsell Common are famously cited as the initial landing site for the Martian invasion in H.G. Wells' *The War of the Worlds*. The common itself is a substantial area of heath and woodland managed for conservation, offering walking paths and a sense of semi-rural openness within the urban context. This blend of local history and accessible natural space defines much of the ward's character.
