Molesey East is a compact riverside ward in Elmbridge, Surrey, England, covering part of East Molesey along the River Thames close to Hampton Court. It mixes Victorian terraces and interwar housing with newer developments, and is anchored by local shops, waterside pubs and boatyards; proximity to the palace and to visitor attractions gives the area a noticeable leisure and hospitality trade.
Historically shaped by market gardening and river trade, the ward retains a strong boating and rowing culture, with local clubs and regattas still prominent, and good green space such as Hurst Park. Many residents commute into London via the nearby Hampton Court station, and the neighbourhood reflects the broader Elmbridge contrasts between affluent riverside streets and more modest inland estates.
