AWESOME TOWN, 15 MINUTES FROM CENTRAL LONDON, WHICH IS EVERY INCH A GREAT CITY IN ITS OWN RIGHT. CROYDON HAS A GREAT ART SCENE WITH GREAT PLACES LIKE THE FAIRFIELD HALLS, WHERE THE BEATLES ONCE PLAYED; AND THE CROYDON CLOCK TOWER CENTRE, WHICH FAMOUSLY HOSTED AN EXHIBITION OF PICASSO PAINTINGS.
IN ADDITION, CROYDON'S ALREADY EXCELLENT SHOPPING FACILITIES ARE ABOUT TO GET A WHOLE LOT BETTER STILL WITH A £1 BILLION WESTFIELD CENTRE.

Mitcham is a - perhaps unexpectedly - rather picturesque small town located within Greater London. It's got some genuinely pretty period architecture - for example see photos below of the town's churches and "White House" (no not that one). The area has perhaps been a tad looked down on in the past (often by people who have never been there). But it's smartening up, and its innate visual appeal - especially in its older parts - makes it a perfectly pleasant, green little area to live in or visit. And local borough council plans for town centre improvements will provide a further spur towards it realising its full potential before long.
Question one: What sort of people would Mitcham appeal to?
-- Those who appreciate pretty buildings and plenty of green open spaces (such as Mitcham Common and Mitcham Fair Green).
Question two:Where is it precisely?
-- It's a mile or two further out of central London than Wimbledon, just within the Surrey side of the London/Surrey border. But officially it IS in London, as it's in a London borough (Merton). It is exactly eight miles from Charing Cross (the official central point of London).

Beautiful little village area at the southern end of the town of Sutton in outer London/north Surrey. Belmont has its own small railway station, while Sutton's mainline station is only a mile north. There are several restaurants in the main village street, and the residential roads off contain character houses from the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Great district of outer London at the end of the Northern Line, just within the Surrey post code zone. Plays host to the genuinely stunning Morden Hall Park, a huge and varied expanse of green space, complete with rivers, streams, historical mansions and a wondrous flower garden.
