Merton transport links
Two London Underground lines pass through Merton, with the north of the borough served by the District line at Wimbledon Park station. The Northern line passes through the heart of the borough, stopping at Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon before terminating at Morden.
There’s also a strong selection of train stations across the area, while the M25 passes less than 10 miles south of the borough’s border. What’s more, two major airports in Heathrow and Gatwick are both close by for holidays abroad or regular business trips.
The Merton property scene
Despite being a hugely desirable place to live, Merton’s average house price is similar to the London average. This is due to its location towards the outskirts of Greater London, although this could be a major factor in your own desire to live in the borough.
