A Guide to Pubs and Bars in Woking Town Centre

From a large Wetherspoon named after H. G. Wells to modern craft-beer bars, here are places for a drink in central Woking.

Woking.co·28 May 2026

Woking's town-centre nightlife is concentrated around Chertsey Road, which runs from Commercial Way down towards the railway station, along with a scattering of traditional locals in the surrounding neighbourhoods.

The Herbert Wells

The Herbert Wells on Chertsey Road is Woking's large J D Wetherspoon pub, named — like so much in the town — after author H. G. Wells. It is a busy, central spot close to the station, popular for its all-day food and drink.

The Junction Tap

Also on Chertsey Road, The Junction Tap is a more modern bar known for craft beers, cocktails, and a lively events schedule, offering a contrast to the traditional pub next door.

Beyond the centre

Out towards Westfield on the south side of town, The Cricketers on Westfield Road is a traditional local overlooking Westfield Common — the kind of neighbourhood pub that gives the wider borough its character.

Making a night of it

The town centre's pubs and bars are within easy walking distance of the New Victoria Theatre, making them handy for a pre- or post-show drink. As always, opening hours vary, so check ahead for each venue.
