About

St John's ward lies in the heart of Woking, centred around the modern retail core of The Peacocks shopping centre. The area is primarily defined by its commercial and civic functions, housing the town's main library, theatre, and a concentration of office buildings. Residential streets with a mix of housing types radiate from this central hub, providing homes within walking distance of the main railway station and bus interchange.

A notable local landmark is the concrete obelisk of the WWI Memorial, which stands in a small green space amidst the urban landscape. The ward's boundaries are shaped by major transport routes, including the railway lines and the Basingstoke Canal, which runs along its southern edge. This creates a distinct separation from neighbouring areas while offering a pedestrian towpath for local movement.
