West Byfleet, Sheerwater and New Haw are neighbouring communities within the borough of Woking in Surrey, England. West Byfleet is a compact commuter village with a busy high street and a railway station offering quick services into London, characterised by a mix of Victorian and later housing and a generally affluent, family-oriented population.
Sheerwater was largely developed as a mid-20th-century estate and has a strong community identity, local shops and an industrial area that provides employment, with ongoing regeneration efforts shaping its social landscape. New Haw sits alongside the River Wey and the Basingstoke Canal, reflecting its historic links to waterways and light industry; it combines waterside leisure, moorings and easy road links (including the M25), so the three places together offer a blend of suburban living, local commerce and riverside character.
