Ravensbury ward lies in the north of the London Borough of Merton, bordering the River Wandle to the east. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of interwar semi-detached housing and later developments. Its eastern boundary is defined by the Wandle Trail, a walking and cycling route following the river through several parks and green spaces.

The ward includes the large Ravensbury Park, which features meadows, woodland, and access to the river. Morden Hall Park, with its historic snuff mill and wetland habitats, sits just across the borough boundary in Merton Abbey. Local amenities are concentrated along the arterial roads, serving the community's needs. The area maintains direct transport links into central London via nearby rail stations.
