What's on in Lower Mitcham

Lower Mitcham sits snugly on the south bank of the Thames, a quiet stretch where the river usually decides if today is for a stroll or a picnic. The Wandle Industrial Museum keeps things interesting with its history of paper making and local industry, proving that old factories can still feel very much alive. It is easy to forget you are in Greater London when the pace slows down like this. We have found a few community groups popping up around the village green for afternoon tea or a game of bowls. The local library often hosts reading sessions that bring the whole street together, and there are usually market stalls within shouting distance. Near Here keeps all these regular gatherings in one place so you do not need to wander far to find something good.
