After leaving Mitcham, you following Love lane along the route, and some footpaths to end up at a church (photo #1). Passing a slightly dodgy industrial estate, you cross the tram tracks at Belgrave Walk, before ending alongside Morden Road for a short while....

After leaving the busy shopping streets, a small section through some alleyways (photo #1) (with fly-tipping and cats, photo #2) you end up going along/through Croydon Cemetery. After that, part two takes you along (and up) Mitcham Common, with some good views (photo #3), grass, and a bunch of crows (photo #4)....

I expected a good route given the amount of green space but Mitcham Cricket Green was rather pretty, the back alley path in Mitcham greener and better than expected and particularly the birding at Beddington Farmlands pushed this all the way up to 5 stars....

I started in Croydon and it was a long stretch of fairly busy roads, but busy with pedestrians rather traffic....

Take the diagonal path across the second green area from the Cricket Green lane which goes directly to the pedestrian crossing. Pedestrian lights at Wallington Green to cross the A232....

Good direct route with a mix of urban streets, paths, and some parkland. I had a cup of tea at the cafe next to the entrance to Ravensbury Park, then skidaddled all the way to St Helier station non-stop....

I found myself facing a dead end, and while scratching my head working out an alternative route, someone drew my attention to a footpath alongside the nearby park. It’s not much of a tweak, but I’ve made Mitnor Two which incorporates the correction to the dead end problem, and also routes through Streatham Vale Park, which I enjoyed. Will flag this version as a ‘no’....

Wholly urban walk connecting two busy south London areas. Mostly residential streets, pavements; a few traffic free sections. There are steps at Mitcham Eastfields station (photo)....

On the plus side, it connects South Wimbledon station (Northern line) into the Slow Ways network, and links it with Wimbledon station (District line, trams and mainline rail)....

Paths are mixed - urban pavements, footpaths and some steep, some uneven, and when I walked some soggy muddy patches on the Common....

I was looking forward to giving a 3rd positive review and validate the route - but - there is a building site where the route should go, and so, like the previous reviewers, I found myself walking along the river Wandle in Ravensbury Park. Since this is clearly the preferred routing, I think the time has come to make it ‘official’, and I’ll put up a new route option....

Jane Taylor

Crossing at Tooting Station is easy but not Longley Road at its junction....

JohnMyerson

I also went through Ravensbury Park before crossing Morden Road to Belgrave Walk which adds a short distance. Shops at each end....

A pleasant walk through trees following the Wandle Trail takes you cross the road into new development ad up to the high street and station. A further 10 minute walk would take you to Wimbledon Common....

I was immersed in a beautiful snowy Tooting Common and crossed the main road onto Storey Road and straight down to Mitcham Road. It was busy and traffic congested crossing a busy junction...

The route seems to veer away from the river onto Butter Hill following Wandle Trail signage. Sadly the route pulls away from the Wandle Trail but heads in the direction of Mitcham Common of which we’re given the briefest of glimpses before heading down a pathway/back alley away from the main road....

Main road all the way passing a little bit of Greenspace in the form of Figges Marsh. Mainly flat till about halfway along Mitcham Lane where there is a slight hill....

Avoids main roads but pretty much all suburban streets till it skims the edge of the St Helier Open Space Nice view of the Croydon skyline The routes gives a teaser of the Wandle Trail before heading back onto a main road into Mitcham...

As you come into Tooting and get to the station you turn left into Longley Road....

It takes you past a couple of stops and shops and shops before taking you on a mainly residential route as far as St Helier Hospital....

This route uses mainly quiet roads and paths through open spaces. The path alongside Watermeads Nature Reserve (51.393474, -0.170693) is prone to be wet and muddy but can be avoided by walking along signposted cycle route to Bishopsford Road....

From Wimbledon Station main entrance, cross the road and follow the path opposite for 150m to a footbridge over the railway on the left....

Malcolm Jones

Cross the bridge and continue across Ravensbury Meadow opposite, towards a playground then past it to the park exit on Morden Road....

London Road in Mitcham can be quite polluted at busy times. Gradient of Longley Road up to the railway bridge is steep and the junction there hard to cross....
