Top Poohstick-playing conditions: Morden Hall Park bridge
A bridge in Merton has been revealed as one of the top places in the country to play Poohsticks.
The white "fairy-tale" bridge in Morden Hall Park was named by Visit England as the second best in the country to play the stick-racing game, made famous by the fictional children's book character Winnie the Pooh.
The game involves dropping sticks over a bridge and waiting to see whose stick emerges from the other side of the bridge first.
Described as a "serene oasis at the end of the Northern Line", the National Trust park's bridge was judged as the best place in London to play the game.
The survey found it to be second best in the country, coming after Sheepwash Bridge in Ashford in the Water, Derbyshire.
