The West End Common forms part of the Esher Commons, owned and managed by Elmbridge Borough Council. The River Mole forms the western boundary of the common, flowing past a steep sandy area known locally as "The Ledges". Plant species typical of ancient woodland are found in this area, including bluebells ("Hyacinthoides non-scriptus"), marsh marigolds ("Caltha palustris") and golden saxifrages ("Chrysosplenium" sp.). large bittercress ("Cardamine amara") and the non-native Himalayan balsam ("Impatiens glandulifera").
