 The Wimbledon Shop by alucas
A souvenir of the Champoinships, maybe a towel (Large ladies towel £ 24 sold 10,500 last year), or a cap with the Wimbledon logo (£ 16), or maybe an umbrella (£ 20). Leave a Comment Theme: Sporting Goods

I am not too sure why, but Wimbledon acts as a magnet for South Africans, Australians and Kiwis. I guess it comes down to knowing people here upon arriving in London, and then settling with what and who you know.
Our first 2 years were spent elsewhere in London, and we moved here due to the church we became involved in www.dundonald.org
Shop hours:
Monday - Saturday: 10:00 to 20:00
Sunday: 10:00 to 16:00
There are 3 South African Shops in Wimbledon and even our local bakery across the road makes Koeksusters, Melk Tert and Boerewors Rolls too... catering for the demand! :)
Oooooh there is so much to buy!
Milk Tert, biltong, boerewors, Ghost Pops, Oumas Rusks, Zoo Biscuits, Amarula Cream, Rooibos Tea, Guava and Apricot rolls, Smarties, Peppermint Crisps, Super C's, YOU magazine, Huisgenoot Magazine etc.
Most South African brands can be found here.
Update March 2006:
This used to be called Krugers Deli, it has since changed hands and names
More expensive than average.. but I guess they know that SAFFAS really miss home brands and will pay higher prices for them anyway :) Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: 20-22 Worple Road, Wimbledon SW19 4DHPhone: 020 8971 9177Directions: It's a 5 minute walk from Wimbledon train station, next door to Sainsbury's car park on Worple Road.Website: http://www.krugersdeli.com/top.html Other Contact: info@krugersdeli.com

 Aubergine Art Gallery by Jenniflower
Aubergine offer a picture and photo framing service, but specialises in selling lovely pieces of Art. It's a small gallery, but has a good selection of frames and paintings.
My hubby and I always buy an original work of art whenever we visit a new country. And we always get them framed here. Service is efficient, she knows what she's talking about... it IS dear, but then you pay for the quality. I will have these paintings for a lifetime so dont mind paying a bit more to ensure they are cared for properly.
More expensive than average.... Leave a Comment Theme: ArtAddress: 1 Queens Road, Wimbledon SW19 8YEPhone: 020 8947 7838Directions: Just outside of the main train station to your left

I have been to Merton Abbey Market a few times.
They hold Abbeyfest Events where they have live music, lots of food on offer, comedy and theatre.
They have various little restaurants where one can have a meal or have a coffee.
There is a super pub there too, right on the banks of the river! (check out my tip for The William Morris public house under London restaurants).
You can buy all kinds of things here, from childrens books and toys, to art and crafts, to fishing items, artworks and paintings, gem stones and rocks and fossils, to clothing and hats.
I have bought a lovely handcrafted frame here before and I had my eye on their stain glass mirror too... but dont really have room for it at home, so didnt get it.
Prices are not at all bad, considering they are handcrafted too.
Items are not that expensive, considering they are hand crafted. I have a good look though when I come here, to find bargains! :) Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Merantum Way, Colliers WoodPhone: 0207 287 1766Directions: It's on the A24 Merantun Way near Colliers Wood Tube station. If the parking is full then park at the Sainsbury's super store across the road, where there is always space, and walk under the road (you'll see the path) to Merton Abbey Mills.Website: http://www.mertonabbeymills.com/ Other Contact: terry@officeestates.com

I really like the A Gallery, Wimbledon, opposite the Leather Bottle Pub / Nelson Hospital in Merton Hall Road. It has some brilliant art by some of the top names in art at a reasonable price, I find the staff helpful and will source art for me if necessary. I recommend them thoroughly, I especially love the Mila Judge-Furstova etchings. Aways welcomed by a smile.
Original artwork.
You can expect to pay from £100-£10,000 depending on the artist and the artwork you want, however you can buy original cards from as little as £2.50.

 This is the book I bought
at the Wimbledon Shop by Confucius,
1 more photos
What I really wanted though was a miniature replica of the men's championship trophy. This item still does not exist, but the gift shop manager told me that they are now considering my brilliant idea as a future merchandise option.
I say, old boy, the Wimbledon T-shirts available in 2006 were terribly tacky. Somebody with absolutely no taste or creativity decided that the numbers "06" would look good across the chest with the simple name "Wimbledon" underneath. It does not even have the official Wimbledon logo!(See photo #2) Come on, England! Is that the best you can do? Awful.
(2007 UPDATE: Well now, have you seen the London 2012 Olympics logo? That is indeed the best they could do!)
The purple and green umbrella looks good, but I have so many umbrellas already.
I ended up buying the nice little book "Wimbledon; Serving Through Time" as it features highlights of the Lawn Tennis Museum and only cost 5 Euros.
You can spend 23 Euros for the ugly T-shirt or save 20 Euros and opt for the Wimbledon logo mousepad which is only 3 Euros.
