Over 0.5 million visitors a year go to this unique visitor centre on the River Wandle, described by the Daily Telegraph as “the joy that is Merton Abbey Mills”. Shops, market stalls, food, theatre, working water wheel and archaeological remains of historic Merton Priory.
Take a stroll along the 20km Wandle Trail, which follows the River Wandle from Croydon to the Thames at Wandsworth. With both walking and cycling trails, you’ll enjoy it more if you do some research into the river’s industrial heritage before you visit.
