New Haw /ˈnjuːhɔː/ is a residential and part-nature reserve village in Surrey, England situated 20 miles (32 km) southwest by west of London which has a minor railway station on the South Western Main Line shared with Byfleet.
The Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency, an executive agency of DEFRA, has its central laboratories in a semi-rural part of New Haw. The laboratory is notable as being one of the principal test centres for the H5N1 virus.
It adjoins Byfleet, Weybridge, Addlestone, Ottershaw and Rowhill/Row Town, West Byfleet and Woodham.
New Haw stands on an irregular south-west border close to Woking, the River Wey, the start of the Basingstoke Canal, and the (River Bourne, Addlestone Branch). The Wey Navigation rises through three steep locks in the relatively short New Haw section.
The M25 motorway passes, without junctions for more than 3 miles, through the west of the village. The main north-south road, the A318 road in New Haw is one of few A-roads in the South East to have narrow sections for HGVs at the bridge crossing the Wey Navigation and with a sharp bend on the turn-off for Woodham. The route also has fixed and mobile speed cameras.
