Molesey lies south of the River Thames and bears several large reservoirs which provide water for central London. Some of these are now empty and are being converted into nature reserves. To the west lies Bessborough Reservoir and Knight Reservoir, to the northwest Molesey Reservoirs, to the south Island Barn Reservoir, and to the southwest Queen Elizabeth II Reservoir.
Molesey Heath is a large tract of common land adjacent to the town. Once a rubbish tip, it is now a pleasant place to walk. It is possible to find buried shards of old pottery and bottles dating from the time the heath was used as a large waste-ground... Many bottles are from the old lemonade factory in nearby Thames Ditton. The lake, which has recently begun to be filled in with earth, was once a puddle.
Hampton Court Palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is reachable from East Molesey by Hampton Court Bridge. Molesey Lock is just above the bridge. East Molesey boasts some interesting landmarks, including The "Crooked" Bell, a public house built in the mid-15th century.
