Today (Wednesday 28 June), the London Borough of Merton has launched its summer campaign, ReDiscover Merton – encouraging residents to explore and discover their local areas. 

Councillor Ross Garrod, Leader of the London Borough of Merton said; 

“This summer is a perfect opportunity for you, your family and your friends to rediscover all the hidden gems that are right here on your doorstep.  

“I’m delighted to be launching our new summer campaign, ReDiscover Merton. Our online rediscover guide offers loads of ideas that will inspire you to explore our wonderful borough, find new places, try new activities and sports, and learn new skills. 

“From an unmissable arts festival at Canons House in Mitcham, to experiencing unforgettable open-air theatre in Morden Hall Park. Experience live music and markets in Wimbledon, plus loads of activities in parks and free swimming for kids at all our leisure centres in the borough. There’s something for everyone! 

“The summer campaign kicked-off, at Mitcham Carnival which we’ve brought back for the first time since 2019, and will continue right through to the end of August. 

“Visit our website for a guide to events and activities to help rediscover the borough, keep the kids happy, spend more time with the family, and connect with your community.
