Merton Rain Gardens

We are rolling out a series of rain gardens across Merton with the first three completed in Wimbledon using the Sustainable Drainage System better known as SuDs.

The rain gardens are an attractive way of reducing surface water by allowing vegetation and plants to retain the majority of the rainfall and increase the lag time of infiltration, while also remediating and filtering pollutants in surface runoff.

The Merton Rain Gardens are located on:

  1. Wimbledon Hill

  2. Wimbledon Chase

  3. The Path, South Wimbledon
