From the Wikipedia article
Molesey is a suburban neighbourhood comprising two large villages, East Molesey and West Molesey, in the Borough of Elmbridge, Surrey, England, and within the Greater London Built-up Area. Molesey is situated on the south bank of the River Thames. East and West Molesey share a high street and there is a second retail restaurant-lined street (Bridge Road) close to Hampton Court Palace in the eastern part of the district, which is also home to Hampton Court railway station in Transport for London's Zone 6. Molesey Hurst or Hurst Park is a large park by the River Thames in the north of the area, and is home to East Molesey Cricket Club. The Hampton Ferry runs from here to Hampton on the Middlesex bank, from where it is a short walk to the central area of Hampton. Molesey is divided into three wards: Molesey South, East and West. The majority of Molesey's detached properties are in the east, which also contains the highest proportion of apartments of the three wards.
