Victorian London’s outward sprawl came to a halt in the south among the villages, fields and woodlands of Surrey. Semi-detached suburbia eventually swallowed them up, yet industry was never far away.

The River Wandle used to be one of the most polluted in England, with 68 water wheels powering tobacco, textile and brewing factories along its nine-mile route from Surrey to the Thames.

There has been a clean-up in recent years, with fish returning and parks and nature reserves created along its banks.

Mitcham, once known for lavender fields and watercress beds, is seeing a renaissance, partly due to Tramlink, which connects it to Wimbledon and East Croydon.

From £575,000: townhouses at Millfields in Mitcham, Surrey

Today the area is rather an odd blend of urban town and country village. Sitting in travel Zone 4, it has 25-minute trains to Blackfriars and Victoria and noticeably good-value homes, but no Tube.

A former factory has made way for Millfields, a scheme of apartments and townhouses with integral garages. Houses cost from £575,000. Call Redrow on 020 8712 0594.
