Horsell is a village in the borough of Woking in Surrey, England, less than a mile north-west of Woking town centre.[1] In November 2012, its population was 9,384.[2] Horsell is integral to H. G. Wells' classic science fiction novel The War of the Worlds, the sand pits of Horsell Common being the site of the first Martian landing.[3] Horsell Common has since been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Another landmark is the McLaren Technology Centre, built on the northern edge of the common in the early 2000s for the McLaren Group.
