51-57 Chertsey Road, Woking, GU21 5AJ (View on Google Map)

Opening in Summer 1995 on the site of the original Woolworths the Herbert George Wells was one of the first Wetherspoons in the area. An ever changing range of up to seven guest beers, and being close to both bus and train stations this is an attractive alternative to a waiting room. A wide range of clientele make up this busy pub - shoppers and office workers by day and a wide range of drinkers young and old in the evening. Named after H G Wells, who lived locally, artefacts include photographs from the early 1900's illustrating life in Woking at the time. Unusually for Wetherspoon there are normally a couple of real ciders amongst the range of 4 bag in a box.
