If you are going to The Championships and can go by public transport – DO SO ! Whilst it is quite easy to drive there, parking is either a nightmare, or very expensive. The best way to get there is by London Underground District line to Southfields or Wimbledon stations, or by overground train from Waterloo to Wimbledon. From either of these stations you can get a shuttle bus to the tennis. I have travelled via Southfields in the past (although not for some years), and found it quite quick and efficiently run. There are also special buses that run back to Marble Arch and Victoria every 30 minutes.
It is possible to walk from Southfields, but it is will take you around 20 minutes, and it is a long walk back at the end of the day, especially as it will be uphill !

 Public Car Park No 10 ! by alucas
The main advantage in driving there in our case, is that you don't have to travel back across London after a long day out, it is actually quicker for us to drive provided we avoid the rush hour on the M25, and we can take a picnic to have before we go in. Remember, you cannot take cool-boxes or large bags with you into the Championships. Leave a Comment

 Wimbledon Station by Jenniflower
I caught a shuttle bus from Wimbledon Station, it cost me £2.50 for a return ticket (£1.70 for a single). It was a comfy ride, and let us out at the gate's entrance. The shuttles are marked as SPECIAL SERVICE FOR WIMBLEDON TENNIS or TO & FROM WIMBLEDON TENNIS. The queue for the shuttles will start in the area to the right of the taxi in the photo.
A bus service also runs directly from Marble Arch and Victoria to the Championships every 30 minutes.
You will be picked up where you were left, so best not to forget what gate that was at! lol There are over 20 gates... :) Leave a Comment

If you are travelling to Wimbledon for the tennis from central London there are a number of options to consider. The quickest way to get here is probably by overground train from Waterloo to Wimbledon station. Alternatively, take the District Line to Southfields, Wimbledon Park or Wimbledon station. There are buses from both Southfields and Wimbledon station to Church Road for the duration of the championships, though it's not too far to walk (about 20 mins). Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 South West Trains
Standard Class by Janani
The station also has connections with the district line of the London underground serving stations to Upminster or Edgeware Road and the Tramlink service to Croydon within the same building.
The ticket office is open throughout the day until ten at night and there are reasonably good eating/toilet facilities available within the station, which is listed by South West trains as a fully wheelchair accessible station with staff help available for passengers with additional needs. Limited parking is available but it is quite expensive on weekdays. Cycle storage is also available. Leave a Comment

Wimbledon’s trams have been operating for several years connecting the town's mainline train stations with Croydon and its surroundings. It runs for part of the journey along its own route and for the remainder through the streets along with cars, buses, etc. Many areas of London had trams previously but most of these had stopped running quite some time ago. The proposals for a modern tram system in this area were put forward with a view to reducing pollution levels, which must surely be a good thing for such a traffic congested area and following the environmental theme, I was interested to read how the development of the system took into account the needs of wildlife along the route
The stops seem to me to be a little further apart than bus stops, particularly outside the town centres but certainly much closer together than the train stations. The trams have plenty of room for passengers and their belongings but not many seats, so it is often necessary to stand at busy times.

I have not actually visited the grounds or the museum before but it is on my list to do and if you are in Wimbledon something you should do as well.
The new musuem opened up recently and is very interactive - you get a guided ghosted tour of the Gentleman's dressing rooms in the 1980's by John McEnroe, also you can test your tennis grip. The musuem houses the Mens & Ladies Trophies as they are not allowed to take them home when they win, instead winners names are engraved and the players take home a replica of the trophy.
The mueum is open daily except during the championships
Adults GBP7.50 or 14.50 incl tour
Children GBP 6.25 or 11.00 incl tour Leave a Comment Address: Church Road, Wimbledon SW19 5AEPhone: 0208879 5609Directions: take the 143 bus from Southfields, Wimbledon or South Wimbledon
