  • Pop in to Merton Abbey Mills. Packed with bars, restaurants and entertainment, overlooking The Wandle River. Famous for William Morris and the production of Liberty prints.
  • The Wheelhouse dates from 1885, though there were previous mills on the same site for hundreds of years before then. Liberty’s used it for rinsing the gum off their printed silk.
