More About Wimbledon
Located in the South London Borough of Merton, Wimbledon has contributed a great deal to the sporting and cultural landscape of London.
The Home of Tennis
When people hear Wimbledon, they immediately think of the Grand Slam tennis championships that take place each summer at the famous All England Club. Curiously, it was croquet that led the way with regards to sport in Wimbledon, founded in 1868 as the All England Croquet Club. Lawn tennis was introduced in 1875, and the first tournament took place two years later. These days, it is of course an international event, with the winners receiving over a million pounds at the 2011 tournament.
Regarded by many players as the pinnacle of achievement in the sport, Wimbledon is one of the four treasured Grand Slam trophies coveted by the game's elite. In the past, the men's tournament has been won by legends of the sport such as Rod Laver (four times), John McEnroe (three times), Bjorn Borg (five times), Boris Becker (three times) and Pete Sampras (seven times). In recent times, the public has been captivated by the rivalry between six-time winner Roger Federer and two-time champion Rafael Nadal.
The women's tournament has most recently been dominated by the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, who between them have won nine of the last twelve championships (Venus with five, Serena with four). Before them, star names Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf took turns to run the rule over the tournament.
There has notoriously not been a male British singles winner since Fred Perry in 1936, with Tim Henman and most recently Andy Murray frequently falling at the last hurdle to the disappointment of British fans. The last female British singles winner was Virginia Wade in 1977.
If you do get the chance to experience the magical atmosphere of Centre Court, you will be lucky enough to experience one of the most thrilling sporting activities in London. Few venues can boasts such sporting heritage.
What about the rest of the year?
Of course, the Wimbledon Championships only last a fortnight, so what is there to do for the rest of the year? The answer is the Wimbledon is mostly good for sporting activity. Even if there is no tennis on, you can still visit the Lawn Tennis Museum to learn even more about the tournament and its former winners.
Over in neighbouring Wimbledon Park, you will find an exclusive golf club, squash courts, an athletics track and a Watersports Centre, offering kayaking, canoeing and sailing courses run by experienced professionals. Roehampton County Cricket Club play their home matches just outside the park at Putney Heath, while Wimbledon Common houses two more members-only golf courses.
Wimbledon Village, too, has plenty of charm about it, with a decent array of bars, shops and restaurants to keep you entertained during your Wimbledon hotel stay.
The Wombles of Wimbledon
Wimbledon Common is most famous as the home of Elisabeth Beresford's furry fictional environmentalists The Wombles. Beresford's 1968 books quickly became a massively popular children's television show in the 1970s, depicting the lives of the Wimbledon group, led by Great Uncle Bulgaria, as they sought to clean up the area by collecting and recycling all the litter left behind by humans.
The Wombles even became a novelty band, scoring four top ten hits including the Christmas jingle 'Wombling Merry Christmas'. They even played Glastonbury in 2011, although they were booked without the knowledge of organiser Michael Eavis, who dubbed their presence "a bit of a mistake". That aside, if you find yourself strolling through Wimbledon Common, you should certainly think twice before dropping any litter.
Getting to Wimbledon
Wimbledon is well served by the London Underground District Line. If you want the town centre, you should go all the way to the end of the line at Wimbledon itself, but if it's the tennis arena you are hoping to visit then you will be closer if you get off at either Southfields or Wimbledon Park. The latter affords the nicer walk, a lovely stroll through the park on your way to the arenas.
Hotels in Wimbledon
Wimbledon hotels such as Antoinette Hotel Wimbledon and The Wimbledon Hotel are great bases for any Wimbledon stay, but if you are aiming to come for the tennis then it is vital that you book your room as early as possibly. For obvious reasons, they go pretty quickly.
Pubs and Bars in Wimbledon
Found on Wimbledon High Street, not too far from the tennis, The Common Room is a popular haunt where you can either sit in the main bar and watch sport on the big screen or retire to the pleasant terrace garden and enjoy your drink in the sunshine.
Popular cocktail bar Hemingways combines a tempting menu with efficient staff and a thriving atmosphere to create arguably one of the best nights out in Wimbledon. If you would like to combine a walk around Wimbledon Common with a pleasant drink in a relaxing pub, The Crooked Billet is right on the corner of the park, and is so wonderfully atmospheric you may forget you're in London at all.
Restaurants in Wimbledon
If you want to push the culinary boat out during your stay in Wimbledon, you must try the traditional British menu at Cannizaro House, a double AA-rosette award-winning country house tucked away in a quiet corner of the area, just next to Wimbledon Common.
If you prefer to stay in the village, try the European fare at Light Cafe and the tantalising Asian flavours at Bayee Village Chinese Restaurant, both found on the High Street.
