Barnes sits on the north bank of the River Thames within the Richmond upon Thames borough and retains a distinctly village-like character despite being part of outer London. The ward includes green lungs such as Barnes Common and the nature-rich Barnes Wetland Centre, and is noted for its conservation areas, riverside terraces and listed buildings which reflect a long riverside and boating history.
Locally the area has a strong community feel with independent shops, cafés, a regular market and pubs - the jazz-friendly The Bull's Head being a well-known cultural spot. It is popular with families and commuters alike, served by Barnes railway station, and combines relatively high property values with active local societies and a lively arts and nature scene.
