Langley is a ward in the metropolitan borough of Sandwell, located in the West Midlands within the industrial Black Country conurbation, close to Oldbury and the wider Birmingham area. It sits in a largely urban setting of residential streets and small industrial estates, with local parks and community facilities serving nearby neighbourhoods.
The area reflects the region's industrial past with pockets of light industry and post‑war housing, and today has a mixed socio‑economic profile with a diverse community, local shops, schools and community centres. There have been periodic regeneration efforts to improve housing and public spaces, and its practical transport links make it a commuter area for the surrounding towns and cities.
