Borough of Woking

The Borough of Woking is a local government district with borough status in the west of Surrey, England.

It was formed in 1895 as an urban district under the Local Government Act 1894. The present-day borough was established in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, and is one of two districts in Surrey to retain the boundaries of a single former urban district (the other being Epsom and Ewell). It is also the only district of Surrey not to have a boundary with a district of any other county.

Woking Borough Council's head offices are located in the town of Woking, just outside the town square in the Civic Offices.
