About

Wallsend West sits on the northern bank of the River Tyne, directly across from the city of Newcastle. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian terraces and more modern housing estates.

Local shopping needs are served by the High Street and the nearby Willington Quay. The residential streets are generally quiet, with good access to schools and community facilities.
