I promise you that, notwithstanding the fact that the name has some kind of strange meaning in US English, you would far prefer Dorking to Woking (or Slough, for that matter)

Woking now has a model of H G Wells's Martian stuck in what passes for its town centre; it hasn't improved the place. http://www.woking.gov.uk/leisuretourism/tourism/attractions/martian
