I don’t buy presents for people (or myself!) anywhere else now. It’s got every card you’ll ever need & unique gifts, jewellery, plants, clothes & treats. Carefully sourced & elegantly presented in a beautiful, peaceful space. Supporting an independent retailer has never been such a lovely experience! My favourite place.

Brookwood Military Cemetery

Reviewed By 518TomR - Carryduff, United Kingdom

This is one of those strange locations that is a required visit as I believe everyone on occasion needs to be reminded of the enormous sacrifice others made for our today. Beautifully appointed and architecturally astute, a walk around these gardens and graves will sadden and illuminate simultaneously. Saddest of all perhaps are the graves of so many, so young, who died after hostilities ended in both world wars and to see names of, (again), so many young people who traveled half a world to lose their lives and end up here. Honour them with your presence just once.

Reviewed By nergelag - London, United Kingdom

We live nearby but never tire of walks around the cemetery. If you haven't visited then make a point of going. There's history, quirky stuff and a lovely glade at the back of the site. Woking are making it more tourist friendly, let's hope that is done sensitively.

If you want a coffee or a snack in a quiet and comfortable environment choose the Lightbox Cafe. Service is fast and the environment relaxing. Soup, snacks, drinks, coffees and cakes all available at a reasonable cost. This is an excellent break point if you are walking along the canal as you pass through Woking.

One of my favourite places in Woking to enjoy a nice wine with friends. Cosy, friendly and quirky. They do some wonderful french wines and the Rose was particularly good. The decor is unique and very attractive.
