Where to buy in Mitcham

The most desirable houses are those overlooking Mitcham Common. There are a small Victorian terraced houses in Commonside East which runs right along the north side of the Common. The Cricket Green Conservation Area is just east of London Road, with roads off Cricket Green itself such as Birches Close and Kingsleigh Place. There were pockets of new houses built in the late 20th century in the streets towards Streatham. The biggest new development in the area was the development of former playing fields between Lavender Avenue and Western Road. The streets surrounding Pollard’s Hill, mainly named after it but also including streets such as Ena Road and Beech Road, contain detached houses built in the 1920s and 1930s. The former sewage works off Beddington Lane have been converted into environmentally-friendly flats and houses. (You can see why that might have been an issue.)
