General Information:

Morden is a suburban town in South West London set within the London Borough of Merton.
The town of Morden started to expand once the Northern line underground was extended to Morden in 1926.
The majority of the area was built in the late 1920’s and 1930’s. Builders such as George Blay, Selley, Crouch and Bilham built good quality homes with generous sized gardens and garages taking into account the growing number of people with motor cars. They were a mixture of styles, art deco, mock Tudor and utilitarian all who now have a good following.
St Helier Estate was built in 1928 and named after the Baroness St Helier. The roads were alphabetical from Morden Town Centre starting at Abbotsbury and going out to Carshalton with roads such as Woburn.

Transport
Morden is the most southerly station on the Northern line Tube. There are train stations at Wimbledon Chase, South Merton, Morden South and St Helier on the Thameslink Wimbledon loop line with Blackfriars, Farringdon and St Pancras services. Direct trains from South Merton to Blackfriars take 38 minutes. Trains to Waterloo require a change at Wimbledon and take about 30 minutes. Wimbledon Chase is in Zone 3 and all the other stations are in Zone 4.
There are Tramlink stops at Merton Park, Morden Road and Phipps Bridge with trams to Wimbledon and Croydon, and there are plans to extend the line to Sutton through Morden.

Shops and restaurants
Morden’s town centre could do with a few more independent cafes and coffee shops, although with both Wimbledon and Kingston so close it is hard to see where the improvement is going to come from. At the moment supermarket shopping is catered for by Sainsbury’s, Iceland and Lidl. The best local café is run by the National Trust in Morden Hall Park where there is also a large garden centre and National Trust shop.

Open Space:
Morden Hall Park is the jewel in Morden’s crown; the park has the River Wandle running through it, a nature reserve, wetlands boardwalk and a rose garden and heritage features such as an old snuff mill and stable block. Morden Park in London Road is a large park with woodland, a bandstand and a pitch and put course. Cannon Hill Common between Morden and Raynes Park has a lake popular with anglers.
