GARRETT, a hamlet in the parish of WANDSWORTH, western division of the hundred of BRIXTON, county of SURREY, 7 miles (S. W. by S.) from London. The population is returned with the parish. A mock election formerly took place here on the dissolution of every parliament; which circumstance gave rise to Foote's diverting comedy of "the Mayor of Garrett. " An iron railway from Wandsworth to Croydon, and thence to Merstham near Reigate, passes through this place.
