Introduction to parish

Lying in Streatham Vale between Pollards Hill and Norbury, the parish of St. Olave, Mitcham, is part of the Merton Deanery within the Kingston Episcopal Area of the Diocese of Southwark. The parish roughly corresponds with the electoral ward of Longthornton in the London Borough of Merton. The area is mainly "owner occupied" with some rented and/or Council accommodation. Remaining industrial premises have recently been demolished and there are substantial developments of new housing in progress. The area is ethnically diverse and multi-faith, and the congregation is predominantly a local one.

The church is set well back from the main thoroughfare of Rowan Road in the cul-de-sac of Church Walk, which turns off the main road just along from the South London Cemetery and Crematorium.

The parish has accepted the episcopal oversight of the Bishop of Fulham.
