The western, southern and eastern boundaries of the suburb generally follow Burke Road, Toorak Road and Warrigal Road respectively.

A feature of Camberwell is the Burke Road shopping strip which stretches north approximately 600 m from Camberwell Junction, where three tram routes converge - the 70, 72, and 75. Half-way up the shopping strip is Camberwell railway station, Melbourne, which services the Belgrave, Lilydale, and Alamein train lines.
