River Wandle
Looking along the River Wandle in Colliers Wood, with Britannia Point in the background. Britannia Point was built in 1966 as an office block named Lyon House, but more generally known as Colliers Wood Tower, and was considered one of the ugliest buildings in London.

Merton Priory
The site of the Chapter House of Merton Priory. Merton was a major Augustinian priory, whose foundations are preserved in a chamber under Merantun Way.
Merton Priory was established in AD1117 on its current site by Gilbert, sheriff of Surrey and received the manor of Merton from Henry I in 1121. Thomas Becket, later Archbishop of Canterbury, and Walter de Merton, founder of Merton College Oxford, were both educated at Merton Priory. The priory was surrendered to the crown in 1538 during the Dissolution under Henry VIII. Although most of its buildings were demolished, some remained standing.
Planning permission has been granted for the Chapter house works. The development will replace the existing brick wall at the south of the enclosure with a new glass wall, as part of a programme of general improvements, to make the Chapter House more visible and improve the setting of the monument.
