Molesey West is a ward in Elmbridge, Surrey, England, occupying part of the suburban riverside town of West Molesey on the south bank of the River Thames close to Hampton Court and Hampton Court Palace. The area is largely residential with a mix of period houses and more modern developments, interspersed with parks and stretches of riverside used for boating and leisure.
Its riverside location gives the ward a strong rowing and boating culture, anchored by clubs such as Molesey Boat Club, while many residents commute into London, supported by good road and rail links. Local life combines quiet suburban streets with lively riverside pubs, cafes and community events, and the long history of the Thames and nearby palace shapes much of the area’s character.
