About

West Molesey South lies on the eastern edge of Elmbridge, bordering the River Thames. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older interwar properties. Its streets are quiet and tree-lined, with a network of local shops and schools serving the community. The geography is flat, typical of the Thames floodplain, with several green spaces and recreation grounds integrated into the layout.

The riverfront provides a clear focal point, with a long stretch of public towpath for walking and cycling. Hurst Park, a large open meadow, sits directly beside the water and hosts a historic racecourse grandstand. The area feels removed from major commercial centres, maintaining a separate identity from neighbouring Hampton. Residential roads often lead directly to the Thames, with views across the water towards the parklands of Hampton Court Palace.
