Canalside is a major regeneration programme that has transformed the Sheerwater area of Woking into a modern, sustainable neighbourhood with new homes, community facilities and high‑quality public spaces.
The multi‑phase scheme has delivered nearly 1,200 energy‑efficient homes – around half of which are affordable – arranged around landscaped parkland and pedestrian‑friendly streets.
A new leisure complex at Bishop David Brown School is a key part of the development, offering a 25‑metre pool, teaching pool, sports hall, studios, gym and high‑quality outdoor sports facilities. Low‑carbon technologies, including heat pumps and solar panels, support the complex and contribute to the scheme’s wider environmental goals.
Alongside new homes, Canalside includes a community centre, pre‑school nursery, health facilities, shops and restaurants, creating a well‑connected and vibrant local hub.
The project demonstrates ThamesWey’s capability to deliver large‑scale regeneration that balances housing need with environmental responsibility and long‑term community value.
