This is a lovely, family-run cafe near Colliers Wood station with great bagels, paninis and cakes. I go most Saturdays and there is a very nice community feel to the place. I can definitely recommend the chocolate brownies!

I haven’t been here myself but have heard good things about the pancakes and waffles. It’s located in Merton Abbey Mills so very close to the apartment if you’d like to go out for breakfast.

A great pub near the station. Fun atmosphere and great beer garden. Sometimes in the summer they do BBQs and the food is great! I’ve also heard good things about their Sundays roasts. There is also sometimes live music.

Sightseeing
Morden Hall Park is a National Trust treasure that is not to be missed! Whether you want to take a walk in nature, have a snack at one of the cafes, or shop for unique gifts in the National Trust shop or garden centre, there is something for everyone! The setting is beautiful and it's free to enter the park. Well worth the visit. I’m very lucky to live so close to the park.
