Formed in 1965 through the merger of the former areas of Mitcham, Wimbledon, and the Merton and Morden Urban District, the London Borough of Merton boasts an illustrious and diverse history. It's home to three main commercial centres, with Wimbledon leading the way. Wimbledon is synonymously known for hosting the world-renowned Wimbledon tennis tournament, attracting fans and visitors globally each year.

The borough itself was named after the historical parish of Merton, which is now known as South Wimbledon. Merton is led by the Merton London Borough Council, which is based in Morden. The local paper, The Wimbledon Times, serves as the voice of the people. Despite its grand history and mass appeal, Merton maintains a relatively low poverty rate, highlighting an active community development. Home to a 25% ethnic minority of its population, Merton is the epitome of cultural diversity and integration.
