Merton, Greater London
Overview
The Borough of Merton is a more recent creation, born out of the historic parishes of Wimbledon, Merdon, Mitcham, and Merton by the London Government Act of 1963. For centuries, each parish had been part of Surrey, and like much of Greater London, industrialization brought a population and economic boom that saw the future borough swallowed up by the ever-expanding city. Today, the city is a mixture of ancient history and future renovation, of rural roots and urban sophistication.
