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.
Traditionally 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.
Mytchett has fast road links to London and the South. Buses are half-hourly services to Farnborough, Aldershot and Camberley.
Mytchett is served by London rail services (towards the end of a branch line) from Ash Vale station which is typically 0.7 miles (1.1 km) walking distance with half-hourly trains direct to London Waterloo, The next closest railway stations are North Camp and Farnborough North on the North Downs Line, with services to Reading and Guildford but none direct to London. Farnborough (Main) on the South Western Main Line with services to Basingstoke and London Waterloo is beyond reasonable walking distance (at 3 miles (4.8 km) by path or pavement).
