Background

An ancient landscape, and now an oasis of green within urban south London, Morden Hall park was saved for the community by the far-sighted philanthropist, Gilliat Hatfield. Open for free to everyone year-round, the park reflects the desire of the National Trust’s founder, Octavia Hill, to provide ‘open-air sitting rooms for city dwellers’.

Opening Times

Park: 8am-5pm daily (closed 25th and 26th December)
Potting Shed Café: 8am-5pm daily (from 1st Nov)
Stableyard Café (dog friendly): 11am-4pm daily
Garden Centre Monday-Saturday: 9am-6pm Sunday: 10am-4pm
