CR4 1DJ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Tamworth Lane, 0.3km from Tamworth in Merton. Administratively it sits within Figge's Marsh ward and the Mitcham and Morden constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, CR4 1DJ is a mixed area of service workers, students and families in semi-detached housing. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. The 35 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 42% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. The area has a notably diverse population — 61% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Merton. Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 40 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Prices average £450k, down 10.4% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
