About

South Jesmond ward lies directly east of Newcastle's city centre, bounded by Jesmond Dene to the north and the Ouseburn Valley to the south. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with a mix of student accommodation and family homes. Osborne Road forms a central commercial spine, lined with restaurants, bars, and local shops. The ward includes the southern section of Jesmond itself, with its network of streets leading towards Heaton.

The landscape is defined by its green edges, including the wooded slopes of Jesmond Dene and the open space of Armstrong Park. A distinctive local feature is the historic Jesmond Old Cemetery, a large, wooded Victorian burial ground that serves as a quiet public park. Transport links are strong via the Tyne and Wear Metro, with West Jesmond and Jesmond stations providing quick access to the city centre and coast. The area maintains a busy, community-focused atmosphere.
