The area is 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Charing Cross. The suburb's population was 16,031 at the time of the 2001 census.

The Worcester Park post town, which is coterminous with the KT4 postcode district, covers all of the suburb and also extends into Old Malden. Other neighbouring localites include Kingston, North Cheam, Sutton, Motspur Park, Lower Morden, Stoneleigh, Tolworth and West Ewell. Worcester Park merges into similar suburban districts on all sides. Worcester Park railway station (London Zone 4, South Western Railway), runs trains into London Waterloo and many residents commute into London.

The Beverley Brook runs through Worcester Park, alongside Green Lane and past Green Lane Primary School, traversing up to Cuddington Recreation Ground. Green Lane appears in the Domesday Book. The Huntsmans Hall (now The Brook) was situated on what was the far boundary of a hunting ground for Henry VIII.
