Heathlands is an electoral ward in the borough of Woking, Surrey, England. Named for the heathland that once characterised the locality, it now mixes residential streets with small pockets of open green space and sits close to the Woking town centre; good road and rail links to London mean many residents commute while local shops and services cater for everyday needs.
Development in the 19th and 20th centuries gave the ward a suburban character and today it supports a range of community groups, small businesses and family housing. Local politics tends to focus on housing, transport and green-space management, and its position near the commercial and cultural amenities of Woking keeps it tied into the wider economic and social life of the area.
