The neighbourhood is characterised by a mix of housing types, from post-war estates to modern developments, alongside local shopping parades catering to daily needs. The area is bordered by the Hoe Stream to the north and the railway line to the south, providing clear geographic boundaries.

A focal point is the historic St. Peter's Church in Old Woking, which dates to the 11th century and sits near the remains of a medieval palace.
