Inscription
{Around the London Borough of Merton coat of arms:}
Merton Place.
Sixty metres (200 feet) to the south east was 'Merton Place', the only house ever owned (1801 - 1805) by Admiral Lord Nelson and from which he set out for the Battle of Trafalgar. Lady Hamilton also lived here 1801 - 1808.
Site: Merton Place (2 memorials)
SW19, Merton High Street, Doel Close
We've read at London Gardens Online that the house was actually where Nelson Grove Road now is.
