Answer 4

The Phipps Bridge estate (between Church Road and the tramway)  has long had a bad reputation, rightly or wrongly. Otherwise - most of Mitcham is just a fairly ordinary suburb - neither really nice nor a ghetto.

Answer 5

Answer 6

It's not a 'ghetto' there are no ghettos in England.

But it is classed as a pretty 'scummy' and poor area.

Answer 7

The Estates there are pretty rough certainly and there is an awful lot of gang activity in the area, a lot of knife and gun crime and a prevalence of drugs and prostitution on the streets especially near the Broadway.  However in the area around the green and the common it is quite pretty to look at and there are some nice houses.  Even in these areas though whenever we drive through Mitcham we always lock the car doors as we do in Battersea, Haringey, Hackney etc.

Answer 8

Unless you lived in Warsaw in 1939 I wouldn't use the word ghetto.
