Good, wholesome Conference football. Woking's "The Cardinals", so named from a reference to the Cardinal Red half of the team strip, are a non-league team that play in the Blue Square Premier (tier 5). The grounds, situated south of Woking Park in Kingfield, have a large stand for home supporters, whilst away fans have to make do with standing terraces. Each home game brings associated problems of parking with many cars parking the entire length of Westfield Avenue, which runs adjacent to the stadium, as there is no adequate parking inside the grounds itself.
Woking Football Club is a professional association football club, based in Woking, Surrey, England. The team competes in the National League, the fifth level of the English football league system.

A 'library' of Surrey history with many historical documents. Not a general museum - book before visiting.
Good cinema and theatre complex. If you want to take in a movie, try to do so on a Monday when all tickets are £5 (any other day you can expect to pay £7 upwards). However, there isn't much in the way of food (bar the obvious popcorn and candy; they even took out the Baskin-Robbins stand) so if you want anything substantial, be sure to buy it before going in.
Modern art gallery with restaurant. Has permanent 'History of Woking' exhibition (free) and changing exhibitions, mostly free.
It was the first mosque to be constructed in the UK. Invested by the Begum of Bhopal, one of Bhopal's few female rulers in the late 1890s, it was built by British architects who collaborated with the Oriental Institute to design the first religious building of its kind. The call to prayer can be heard in the surrounding areas of Maybury and Sheerwater, both of which have high numbers of Muslim families, mostly with roots on the Indian subcontinent.
Off Carter's Lane; no vehicle access. Very interesting for the history. Henry VIII's grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother to Henry VII, lived at Woking Palace, during the reign on Henry VII, though it stopped being a royal palace in 1620, when ownership passed from James I of England and VI of Scotland to Sir Edward Zouch.
The most popular local walking destination. Most people choose to park in one of the car parks along Shores Road, about 1 mile north of town, and walk through the heathland. A footpath passes the rear of the attractive modern McLaren complex, up to Fairoaks aerodrome. The car park next to Monument Bridge on Monument Road adjoins the Muslim Burial Ground as well as Bronze Age barrows.
