This was a public house in Merton High Street which existed from the 15th century until 2004. ==History== An inn was known to stand on the area in the year 1594, but the present building was only from 1933. It is, however, listed as a local class II building.〔1〕 In 1684, the daily post service to Epsom was started. The King's Head became the Post House for Merton. Young & Bainbridge purchased the building in 1831 and when the character of Merton changed, seven years later with the arrival of the railway, it became a typical pub. After being rebuilt 1933, was a larger pub, with five bars and many associated activities. 〔2〕 It finally closed as a pub in 2004, and stayed empty for three years. The building was then brought by London General Buses, and the internal structure rebuilt as a headquarter office,〔3〕 keeping the listed exterior in its original appearance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King's Head, Merton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
