Description

Morden Park Baths, later known as Morden Swimming Pool or Morden Park Pools, were opened in 1967 by Lord Hunt. It was the last pool built in Britain to Imperial dimensions, with the main pool being 110 feet long. The building was demolished in around 2018 and a new leisure centre was built to the north of Merton College at Morden Park.
