Woking

My cousin lives here and I’m staying with him. It’s pretty convenient for getting in from heathrow and not too far into London either. Today I walked along a pretty canal, where I saw the world’s largest slug (or the largest I’ve seen), then saw England’s oldest Mosque, then ate at a mafia owned restaurant (or so I’m told). This is also famous for H.G. Wells of War of the Worlds fame.

I worked in Woking for about a week. It wasn’t bad, but I probably would have never paid much attention to it otherwise. Surrey is an interesting place, and if you are into old buildings, there are some great places just outside of town. The names slip my mind.

There are some pretty good places to eat and explore.

Nothing is happening on Woking.

I guess you’ve got everything you need in town but the shops are dull, theres loads of chavs and it’s a very ugly town. Nothing really for young people to do and it gets rough around the pubs in the evening. If you’re in the area you’re better off going to Guildford or even hopping on the train to London (1/2 hour).

Its a nice place – though now its been invaded by commuters i want to go somewhere else.
