Its eastern boundary is defined by the Wandle Trail, a walking and cycling route following the river through several parks and green spaces.

Morden Hall Park, with its historic snuff mill and wetland habitats, sits just across the borough boundary in Merton Abbey. Local amenities are concentrated along the arterial roads, serving the community's needs. The area maintains direct transport links into central London via nearby rail stations.
