Merton is a large London borough that includes important areas such as Pollards Hill, Raynes Park, Wimbledon Park, South Wimbledon, Morden and Mitcham. Merton Park is another significant district in the borough. It is surrounded by Wimbledon Chase, South Wimbledon, Morden and Wimbledon. The area is characterized by wide tree – lined roads that are home to semi – detached and detached properties.
To the north, there is the Kingston Road that was converted into a conservation area. To the south, Merton features the Circle Gardens that were laid out between the 1920s and the 1930s.
The historical parish of Merton is distinct from Merton Park. It is surrounded by other districts like Kingston upon Thames, Morden, Mitcham and Winbledon. The area appertained to William the Conqueror in the 11th century when it was known as Meretone. The oldest worship place in Merton is the Merton Abbey and it was established in 1114. The English Pope, Nicholas Breakspear and St Thomas Becket have been educated at this abbey. In 1538, the priory was closed and dismantled. It was replaced by a hospice and later by an inn. The current inn was constructed in 1931, but it is no longer in use and has become a Listed Building.
