History Pages and Activities.
During the current pandemic, it may be necessary for people to self isolate, or to stay at home more in order to support our amazing NHS.
Merton’s Heritage Service is keen to give you opportunities to have fun during this difficult time, the chance to share your stories and to learn more about our borough’s colourful past. Staff are producing a range of resources to keep you entertained.

Heritage Spotter Guides.
We are designing a range of local guides that can be used by local residents whilst out on walks or exercise breaks during the current lockdown. These feature involve short trails, with notes on what to look out for and questions to answer. They may be of particular interest for families with primary age children.

Heritage Trails.
Remember you can access a range of trails on Merton's heritage by downloading the free IZI travel app. Current topics cover everything from Merton's wartime heritage and the Wandle Trail, to Lord Nelson and women's suffrage.
Don't worry if you prefer not to physically walk the route at the current time, you can still follow the map, see images and listen to audio at home using your laptop, tablet or mobile phone.
