Its main thoroughfare is Rushey Green itself, a local high street with a range of independent shops, supermarkets, and essential services catering to the community. The ward also contains the large Ladywell Leisure Centre, providing sports and recreational facilities.

A significant local landmark is the University Hospital Lewisham, a major employer and healthcare provider for the wider borough.
