Courtfield sits in the southern edge of the Kensington and Chelsea borough, centred around the Old Brompton/Earl's Court area. It is largely residential, characterised by Victorian terraces, garden squares and some mansion blocks, with easy access to the cultural heart of South Kensington – the V&A and the Natural History Museum lie a short walk away and Imperial College draws a student and academic presence.
The ward mixes an affluent property market with pockets of rented accommodation and social housing, so its community includes families, professionals, students and a notable international population linked to nearby hotels and former embassy residences. Transport links are strong via Earl's Court and Gloucester Road, and the area’s character has been shaped in recent years by the long-running redevelopment of the old Earl's Court Exhibition Centre site along with active local groups working to preserve its residential streets and green spaces.
