West Thornton

CR0 2 / CR0 3 / CR0 9 / CR4 1 / CR7 6 / CR7 7 / CR9 3

West Thornton covers the area around Broad Green and into Mitcham Road. It's one of the more deprived parts of the borough, with a mix of council housing and Victorian terraces. Heavily diverse, with a strong Sri Lankan and Tamil community along parts of London Road. Mitcham Junction and Therapia Lane tram stops provide connections. It's not an area with much in the way of local amenities or destination appeal, but it's affordable and well connected by tram.
