Lower Morden is a residential ward in the southwest of the London Borough of Merton. The area is characterised by suburban housing, primarily interwar and post-war semi-detached and terraced homes. It is bordered by the A3 to the west and Morden Park to the east, providing a clear separation from busier transport corridors. The local landscape is relatively flat, with several small greens and tree-lined streets contributing to a quiet atmosphere.

A notable local feature is the presence of the historic Morden Lodge Park, a remnant of a larger estate with mature woodland. Public transport relies mainly on bus routes connecting to Morden Underground station.
