The [[River Wandle]] is a {{convert|9|mi|km}} long river which flows through four southwest London boroughs, including Sutton. It passes through [[London Borough of Croydon|Croydon]], Sutton, [[London Borough of Merton|Merton]], and [[London Borough of Wandsworth|Wandsworth]] where it joins the [[River Thames]]. The river changed from being a mainly rural one lined with a scattering of watermills at the beginning of the 19th century to a heavily built-up one by the 1930s. In the second half of the 20th century the river changed again, as the local authorities made improvements to its visual appearance and restored it as a habitat for wildlife.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wandle |url=https://www.sutton.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1405 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150119055055/https://www.sutton.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1405 |archive-date=19 January 2015 |website=London Borough of Sutton}}</ref> Much of the River is accessible using the [[Wandle Trail]], which passes through Sutton borough at [[Beddington]], [[Hackbridge]] and [[Carshalton]] (including [[Grove Park (Sutton)|Grove Park]] in Carshalton Village).
