Merton Abbey Mills

Merton Abbey Mills is the perfect day out for all the family. A historic arts village on London’s River Wandle, just a short walk from the tube station (Colliers Wood, northern line), it is a beautiful spot with an array of award-winning, little, world-food restaurants, a riverside pub, pottery for the children and theatre shows all weekend for little ones at affordable prices. It is a regular spot for live music and festivals, next to free urban children’s farm, Deen City Farm and just a short walk from free National Trust site, Morden Hall Park.

Reaped in history with a socialist legacy from great men such as Stephen Langton (Archbishop of Canterbury 1207-1228 who helped to develop a peaceful settlement which was used in the original issue of the Magna Carta), William Morris (great socialist and artist), Gilliat Edward Hatfield (a philanthropist and socialist) to name just a few; Merton Abbey Mills is one of London's hidden gems and part of what makes our capital city so special.
