About

East Molesey sits in the borough of Elmbridge on the south bank of the River Thames. The river defines much of the area: Molesey Lock and its weir sit beside stretches of moorings and the Thames Path, while rowing clubs and boatyards line the bank. A riverside open space known as Molesey Hurst provides playing fields and informal green space; the local high street and nearby parades supply shops, cafés and everyday services for residents.

The neighbourhood mixes Victorian terraces, interwar housing and later developments, served by a short rail branch that links the area into central London and by local bus routes. Community facilities include schools, a community centre and sports clubs centred on the river. Floodplain management and riverside planning are regular local considerations because of proximity to the Thames. Periodic rowing and boating events draw activity to the lock and weir stretch, which remains a practical focal point for navigation and riverside leisure.
