Here's a link to the Merton website. http://www.merton.gov.uk/index.asp Merton is a very boring place really. The council offices are situated in Morden, which is famous for being at the southern end of the Northern line, and that's it! Morden shopping centre is really dismal, it's full of weird shops that are continuously closing down. Mmm, it sounds really good doesn't it!

The Merton district includes; Morden Park, Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, Pollards Hill, Wimbledon Park, Mitcham, Raynes Park, Morden, West Barnes.

Hmm, you're not selling it very well... smiley - smiley

What's nice about the area. Do you go out aroung Merton, or just live there and try to get away from it as much as possible?

I've never been to Wimbledon, though I usually watch bits of the tennis when it's on on tv.

I've got some balls that my mum bought from a shop in Wimbledon, sold second hand after wimbledon, though. Some of them might even have been in the hands of Sampras or Henmen!

I'm thinking of moving to the area, any tips finding a place to rent (not very expensive and not through an agency, please!!)I'm going to study in Merton College but I don't know the area at all. Than you

Don't really know. London is experiencing rocket housing prices at the mo. It's a big problem...

So, if Wimbledon is in Merton, does the place change much over the summer? Are there nice parks to go to?
