About

St Thomas East sits on the east bank of the River Exe, immediately south of Exeter city centre and connected to the centre by bridges across the river. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces and later housing, and local streets that run down toward the quay. Exeter St Thomas railway station is on the Exeter–Exmouth line and marks a transport link used by commuters and schoolchildren; the line runs close to the river at several points. Small cluster shops and takeaways line the main roads, serving nearby households and passing trade.

Community facilities include a primary school, a community centre and a recreation ground used for weekend sports and informal gatherings. A riverside footpath runs along the eastern bank, used by walkers and cyclists and providing direct access to mooring points and boatyards on the Exe. Local volunteers organise seasonal litter picks and a monthly stall market has appeared on the weekend green, which tends to draw people from across the parish.
