Editorial responsibility: Elena Voss · Roavina Travel Editor

Merton is a south London borough formed in 1965 from three former Surrey municipalities, with Wimbledon, Mitcham and Morden as its main centres. The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum and Wimbledon Common reflect the borough's association with tennis and green space.
