Where to stay in St. John's
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The town centre keeps the rooms. St John's stands west-south-west of Woking's centre, a settlement of houses gathered around St John's Church with the St John's War Memorial beside it, and the beds are all back in the town. Hook Heath lies south-west on the same ward.
Goldsworth Park and its Church of St Andrew are the other named ground close by, and Fishers Hill House carries a listing of its own.

About St. John's
What are the main landmarks in St. John's?
St John's Church gives the settlement its name. The St John's War Memorial stands nearby, and Fishers Hill House is the other listed address inside the ward, with the Church of St Andrew serving Goldsworth Park on the adjoining ground. The parish itself is older.
Woking supplies the rest, being the largest town in Surrey and the place where the ward's traffic and trade end up.
What is the history of St. John's?
Two villages, one ward. St John's and Hook Heath were both founded in the 19th century inside the medieval parish of Woking, which makes them younger than the parish holding them and older than most of the suburb that has since grown around them. St John's Church dates the settlement.
Fishers Hill House and the St John's War Memorial fill in the rest of the built record, while the Church of St Andrew serves Goldsworth Park next door.
Where is St. John's?
The ward covers about 3.46 square kilometres west-south-west of Woking's town centre, taking in St John's and Hook Heath together.
