About

Abbey ward covers the southernmost section of the London Borough of Merton, bordering the county of Surrey. It is primarily a residential area centred around the districts of Morden and Merton Park. The area is characterised by suburban housing, ranging from inter-war semis to modern developments, alongside several local shopping parades serving the community.

A significant feature is the presence of the National Trust's Morden Hall Park, a large historic estate with wetlands and the River Wandle running through it. The ward contains Morden station, the southern terminus of the Northern Line, providing a direct underground link to central London. This transport connection has historically shaped the area's development from a village into a suburb.
