London Borough of Woking and Elmbridge

This proposed borough is little more than a merger of the existing Surrey boroughs of Elmbridge and Woking. The only change is a little bit of motorway alignment. The proposed boundaries are shown in the map below in dark purple. I estimate the population of this borough to be 230,000.


Towns and Villages included in the Borough:

Woking, Walton, Weybridge, Cobham, Oxshott, Esher, Molesey

Notable things about the area:

Elmbridge has been frequently named the district with the highest quality of life in the country.
Elmbridge pays more tax than any other district in the country.
Woking has the first purpose built mosque in the country.
Woking was the setting for the classic novel "War of the Worlds" by HG Wells it was also written there.
