Wigan Central ward encompasses the historic core of the town, defined by its major transport routes and civic buildings. The area is anchored by the Grand Arcade shopping centre and the Victorian-era Wigan Pier complex on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

A prominent local landmark is the Wigan Parish Church, with its distinctive tower overlooking the market area.
