====History====
Merton was, for many years, the largest of the London General Omnibus Company's garages and continued to boast high allocations in the early days of London Transport. The garage was modernised in 1960, and again in 1991 when a new roof was fitted and various stores and welfare areas were moved to provide a larger, unobstructed parking area, which had previously been long and narrow. 

Merton garage was responsible for the maintenance of vehicles for [[London Buses route 200|route 200]] between 1988 and 1989 after the withdrawal of the Cityrama sightseeing company, whilst the route was operated from Sutton garage.

The garage has become [[Go-Ahead London]]'s head office, following the sale of Raleigh House, [[Mitcham]] and the acquisition of the former pub ([[King's Head, Merton]]) next door.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}
