Mytchett 4.17

Mytchett is a small suburban village in Surrey, approximately 35 miles south west of London.The village is approximately 2 miles long, but is constrained to the north by the South Western Main Line, to the east by the Basingstoke Canal and west by the River Blackwater, meaning the village is only around 3/4 of a mile wide. The census area Mytchett and Deepcut has a population of 6,197, increasing to 7101 at the 2011 Census.HistoryTraditionally the village centre is at Mytchett Crossroads where a community centre was erected in the late 1980s. The village shops are 1/2 mile north of this point along the main road towards Frimley Green and Frimley. There used to also be a Post Office. However this was closed down before June 2012, and is now part of the Best One chain, the nearest Post Office is Frimley Green.
