Map of the UK

Rushden South sits to the south of Rushden town centre in North Northamptonshire, England, and is largely a residential area made up of a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war estates. Local life centres on small parades of shops, schools, community halls and pockets of green space and playing fields, giving it a neighbourhood feel while remaining close to the facilities of the town centre.

The area shares in Rushden's industrial past, particularly the footwear and light‑manufacturing trades that shaped the town in the 19th and 20th centuries, and today supports a range of small businesses and light industrial units. Good road links such as the A6 and regular bus routes connect it to nearby centres like Wellingborough and Northampton, and local community groups and regeneration initiatives continue to focus on improving amenities and housing quality.
