Audio tour Merton In WW2: Wimbledon

This walk has been produced by London Borough of Merton, Local Studies and Heritage Services.

At the start of the Second World War there were three Urban District Councils Merton and Morden, Mitcham  and Wimbledon that in 1965 would be joined together to form the London Borough of Merton.

A series of three walks have been produced one for each of the original district councils. Each walk takes you to a number of the key sites and locations that played an active role during the Second World War. This walk covers Wimbledon and the physical walk will take approximately three hours to complete without stops and is around eight miles.

This walk starts from Wimbledon Centre Court Shopping Centre which is well served by the underground, British Rail, Tramlink and a number of buses from Putney, Sutton, Mitcham, and Morden.

The walk finishes at Holy Trinity Church in Wimbledon Broadway.  At this point return on foot to Wimbledon Station, bus stops are near to the church or continue along The Broadway into Merton Road to South Wimbledon Underground Station.

We hope you enjoy the walk and please do complete the other two in the series.
