Wimbledon, most famous for hosting the annual tennis championships, is a charming place to visit at any time of year.
The village of Wimbledon, at the top of Wimbledon Hill, is less than 10 miles from the centre of London but feels like it's in the heart of the countryside.
The original medieval High Street includes the church, Old Rectory and several pubs. It links the wide open spaces of Wimbledon Common with Wimbledon Hill. Today little has changed and the unique buildings in this charming village offer a first class selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, wine bars, pavement cafes, boutiques and businesses. The New Wimbledon Theatre has a varied programme of exciting productions.
The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum is a must-see for fans of the sport. Explore the history of the tournament, see the celebrated trophies and tour the legendary Centre Court.
