The origin of the name may be Tew Brook, which was a tributary of the Alt. The Brook itself is now almost entirely piped or culverted, with the last exposed section at the back of a disused cinema.

It includes Newsham Park and the Victorian St John's Church. It is part of the Parliamentary Constituency of Liverpool West Derby. Tuebrook has a Police Station but lacks any secondary schools. An interesting characteristic of the main shopping street is that all shops are on one side of the street only. This is largely due to extensive demolition during upgrading of the main road.

The area is bisected by West Derby Road, an east/west arterial route out of Liverpool City Centre. Tuebrook also has a railway line which runs north/south from Tuebrook sidings near Edge Hill to Kirkdale in the north. The railway bridge spanning West Derby Road used to accommodate Tuebrook Railway Station before its closure and removal.

The area is politically interesting, in as much as it consistently elects Liberal (as opposed to Liberal Democrat ) Councillors to Liverpool City Council. Indeed, at recent elections, the Tuebrook Liberals have enjoyed the largest majorities of any councillors on Liverpool City Council

The current councillors for Tuebrook and Stoneycroft (Tuebrook until 2004) are Steve Radford, Chris Lenton and Hazel Williams. Radford's personal popularity enabled him to finish second in the 2001 General Election for Liverpool West Derby, coming ahead of both Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates.
