Mitcham Common, Common land in South London, England
Mitcham Common spans 182 hectares across three London boroughs, featuring varied landscapes of acid grassland, woodland areas, and several ponds including Seven Islands Pond.
The Metropolitan Commons Act protected Mitcham Common in 1891, establishing the Mitcham Common Conservators to manage and regulate the land for public benefit.
Four nominated members from each participating borough council form The Board of Conservators, overseeing the preservation of this Metropolitan Site for Nature Conservation.
The Mill House Ecology Centre provides educational resources while maintained pathways throughout the common allow visitors to explore different natural habitats.
The soil composition from river gravels creates an acidic environment where specific plant species adapt to nutrient deficiency and occasional drought conditions.
