Colliers Wood

Colliers Wood is an area in south west London, England, in the London Borough of Merton. It is a mostly residential area, but has a busy high street. There are two large shopping areas, the Tandem Centre and the Priory Retail Park, as well as a large supermarket complex built in 1989 on the site of an old print works. The Colliers Wood ward had a population of 10,712 in 2011.

Colliers Wood Station is served by the London Underground's Northern line.

Colliers Wood has three parks: a recreation ground, the National Trust-owned Wandle Park, which covers an area of approximately 11 acre, and the more informal Wandle Meadow Nature Park.

Colliers Wood United F.C. is a semi-professional football club founded in Colliers Wood but now based in nearby New Malden.

Colliers Wood shares its postcode district with Wimbledon. It merges into Merton Abbey.

In 2006, local resident and ex-resident of Slough Keith Spears, having seen the BBC TV series Making Slough Happy, started the "Making Colliers Wood Happy!" initiative as a way of building community spirit to counteract the decline in neighbourliness in suburban areas. This has resulted in a lively programme of social activities for local residents, including a choir, a ukulele orchestra and an annual open gardens event, and its importance has been recognised by attracting grants for its work in community-building.

In July 2010 the first Barclays Cycle Superhighway opened, with a continuous bicycle lane known as CS7 linking Colliers Wood with Southwark Bridge in the centre of London, although it was originally intended to continue to South Wimbledon.
