Merton Abbey Mills

if somewhere was to be defined as the coolest place in the world then I guess this is it. It's tradition and level of interestingness is off the scale. The unpretentious depth of cool is here and plain to see. From the Utopian genius of William Morris and his devotion to an amazing aesthetic still his vibe resonates through the place. Its the more charming and divinely historic and unmodernised and away from the world in its own country kinda way. The river provides a great feel and the music drama food bars and sheer life is a breath of fresh air in any day or night . The busy children's theatre is it's amazing gift to the people of south London. Sunday music on the bandstand is worth a journey. The mini venues and bistros are so lovely it's my new fave home from home. 10/10

This is such a lovely are for the locals of Colliers Wood. Really beautiful vibe going on which gets absolutely rammed when the weather is really hot.

It was so sad during the whole covid lockdown, to walk past this area, desolate with no people or atmosphere whatsoever. This place really gives Colliers Wood a lovely little villagey feels, with the lovely sound of the mill churning in the river. The bars are just great too. Lovely staff. Beautiful energy, and music playing all the time.

Colliers Wood is a special little area, and this place is the absolute epitome of the whole experience that is Colliers.

Well done everyone! 👌🙏🙌❤

Thank you for the seating. The teas and coffee were great.

I liked this place. It is considered a 'mall' with shops, cafes and restaurants. The stores were closed due to the lockdown but still, it was enjoyable to see the place. Has a nice scenery next to the river. It is nice to walk past it on the way to the park as part of the daily exercise. Will be looking forward to visiting when it opens.

After a few years of not visiting the place, I can see that it has more to offer now with many more varieties of shops and restaurants.

Great place to just browse the shops and chill with a drink on a lazy weekend.

Great place to relax after a walk trough the park.
Good food and cheap prices as well. (E.g. a burger with fries for under £6)

The wandle pirates Argentinian steak and tapas restaurant limited excellent menu and wine selection

The Mills are a hidden gem of sw19, with a lovely selection of pubs restaurants and assorted local businesses. Beautiful in its own way at every time of year always with something different going on. Recommend.

Best pub , fantastic location, great staff plenty seat inside and outdoor. Had a live music band playing last time ! What more you need on a Sunday !

Great area - staff in the heritage building opened up the Mill wheel so that we could have a closer look. Book sharing point in a lovely garden area (near Mill)

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT .Perfect for weekend days with kids , for a walk and a snack or lunch or a pint ! They have it all. And people are so nice 🙂

Really lovely pocket of history lovely little shops restaurants and craft places. If you love markets and crafts it’s a must.

If you want a surprise then visit Abbey Mills.

It's a great secret little gem of a place that is very bijou with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants along a little river.

Very relaxed and calm place to enjoy a sunny day and fortunately it's not that well known so it's pretty quiet and quaint.

Great secret place to get away from city chaos.

Love this place! Loads of quirky shops, great places to drink and right by the river - perfect on a sunny day!

This is a fantastic gem in Wimbledon area! If you don't know the place, you must go! Especially during the weekend is so bubbly and full of people enjoying a drink or food or the little market of handcraft products!
During my last visit also the pottery was open which was very nice!

There's a delightful crystal shop called Charlie's. Great variety of crystals 🔮 and minerals 🪨.

An amazing place full of grill bars and restaurants. Right in the middle you can shop around the stalls. Please visit Hindicrafts4u stall with beautiful display cushion covers and authentic ethnic Indian artefacts. Worth it.

fantastic local shops , restaurants , pubs and art gallery. workshop's for adult's and kids. fully recommended

Lovely food , lovely the owner, go there almost once a week! Highly recommended

Hard to believe we have this gorgeous place in London. Although we visited midweek with not much happening, the river and winter trees were beautiful. A visit to Charlie's Rock Shop is a must and seems to be open every day. I bought a Himalayan Salt lamp for my son for Christmas, I'll go back tomorrow and get one for myself!
