Situated south of Central London (UK), nine miles south if credence is given to the 18th-century milestone on Figges Marsh, between the towns of Croydon and Morden. The River Wandle bounds the town to the southwest. The original village lies in the west, although expansion has pushed the eastern boundary the furthest. The common takes up the greater part of the boundary and area to the south. Mitcham has never been well serviced by railway, due to it being equidistant between the historic lines of Waterloo to Southampton and London Bridge to Brighton.
