About

St John's is an area in the borough of Woking, Surrey, immediately east of the town centre. It retains the footprint of a former village, with a cluster of older buildings around St John the Baptist church and a small triangular green known locally as the Lye. Residential streets spread outward from that centre into quieter terraces and mid‑20th century estates, giving the area a mix of house types and garden sizes. Some streets are part of a conservation area that preserves the village plan and original shopfronts.

The local parade includes shops, a primary school, pubs and a community hall; allotments and recreation grounds provide space for sport and gardening. Bus services link St John's with Woking station and other parts of the borough, and many residents use the nearby main roads for commuting. Community groups organise markets, club nights and seasonal events centred on the church and hall, and local volunteers manage allotments and youth activities to support everyday life.
