About

Walton Central is a compact commercial and residential hub focused around the High Street and New Zealand Avenue. The area is anchored by the Heart shopping centre, which provides a range of retail options. Residential streets with Victorian and Edwardian houses extend off the main thoroughfares.

The River Mole flows through the southern part of the area, where a stretch of the Thames Path National Trail follows the riverbank. This offers a direct walking route to the larger town green and the Thames itself, providing a distinct contrast to the central shopping streets.
