“Of all the boroughs, I find Merton to be one of the most welcoming–it’s very harmonious, the crime rate’s very low and the community liaison is very good, it’s a nice place to live and also to be."

Leaders of Merton’s London Borough of Culture bid embarked on a road trip to reveal the area’s rich cultural history.
The trip, organised by Merton’s bid chairman John Merriman, went from east to west and stopped at various cultural locations including the Baitul Futuh Mosque and Merton Abbey Mills on January 8.
Mr Merriman explained he had encountered a diverse range of cultures to support Merton’s bid to become the inaugural winner of the Mayor’s new award, which aims to put culture at the heart of the community and bring Londoners together.
He said: “We saw first-hand what Merton culture looks like and it could not be more varied.”
He added: “In the mosque, it’s like a completely different ecosystem, it’s like you have landed somewhere totally different.”
