In the 2001 census the community had a population of 2,011, boosting to 2,074 at the 2011 census. Henley is recognized for its variety of historic buildings, a few of which go back to medieval times, and also its wide variety of preserved building styles. The one-mile-long (1.6 km) High Street is a conservation area. Henley-in-Arden is roughly 9 miles west of the county town of Warwick, 15 miles southeast of Birmingham, 9 miles east of Redditch and also 9 miles north of Stratford upon Avon (where the road in between Stratford and Henley was called Henley Street1). It is located in a valley of the River Alne, which separates Henley from the nearby settlement of Beaudesert. Henley as well as Beaudesert successfully create a solitary entity, as well as share a joint church council, although Beaudesert is a separate civil parish.

Henley Sidings is a nature reserve handled by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.
