About

Merton Park is a residential ward in the London Borough of Merton, characterised by quiet, tree-lined streets and a high proportion of detached and semi-detached houses. The area is primarily residential, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs. Its layout and housing stock reflect its early 20th-century development as a garden suburb, creating a settled and green environment.

The ward is home to the grounds of Merton Park Tram Depot, a historical site that now hosts a modern housing development while retaining original architectural features. Open spaces include Cannon Hill Common, which provides recreational fields and a small lake. The area maintains a distinct separation from the busier commercial centres of Wimbledon and Morden, focusing on its own local facilities and community atmosphere.
