Architects and Engineers in Merton

Local knowledge of Merton's historic centres, from Wimbledon to Mitcham and Morden, and its many conservation areas, from first feasibility conversation through to a finished project.

Living and Building in Merton

Formed in 1965 from the historic towns of Wimbledon, Mitcham, and Merton and Morden, the borough's roots run deep, the Statutes of Merton, a forerunner of modern parliamentary law, were signed here in the 13th century.

As a London AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) consultancy, Diagram X brings its disciplines together for homeowners across a genuinely varied borough, from affluent Wimbledon Village to the Victorian terraces and garden suburb planning found throughout Mitcham, Morden and Merton Park.

Planning in Merton

Planning in Merton covers around 250 statutory listed buildings and several distinct conservation areas, including Wimbledon Village, Merton Park, Wilton Crescent, and parts of Mitcham, with Article 4 directions applying specifically to the John Innes Merton Park and Wilton Crescent conservation areas.

That range, from a single listed building to an entire planned estate, means heritage considerations vary significantly depending on exact location.

Refurbishing in Merton

Across the borough's Edwardian terraces, interwar semis, and garden suburb villas, most interiors have had little meaningful updating in decades, so refurbishment here starts from bringing a home's light, layout and performance properly up to modern standards.

A genuinely worthwhile period feature earns its place when it's retained, but a confidently modern result inside is always the starting assumption.

Construction in Merton

Construction in Merton spans everything from Victorian terraces in Wimbledon to interwar housing around Morden, each with its own structural realities and party wall considerations.

We plan for both the borough's varied housing stock and its several conservation designations, so Merton's long-standing character and its individual homes are both well served.
