About

Molesey West ward lies on the northern bank of the River Thames, forming a distinct residential area within the borough of Elmbridge. The ward is characterised by suburban streets with a mix of housing styles, from inter-war semis to more modern developments. It is bordered by the river to the north and east, with Hurst Park forming a significant green space along its Thames frontage. The area is primarily residential, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs.

A notable feature is the presence of the historic Molesey Hurst, a large area of open grassland that hosts the annual Molesey Sports Day, a tradition dating back over 150 years. The ward includes the residential areas around Walton Road and is separated from East Molesey by the River Mole's confluence with the Thames. Transport links are provided by local bus routes connecting to Hampton Court station and other nearby centres.
