Wimbledon is conveniently located in South London with excellent transport links into central London. It has a wonderful mix of city life and typical English village feel and supplies all you need for a relaxing holiday. If you want access to nightlife, good restaurants and local shops, but prefer to leave high central London prices behind, then Wimbledon is for you!
London on your doorstep
Wimbledon Station is a 5 minute walk away from the front door. From there:
- The London Eye in around 15 minutes
- District Tube Line straight to Big Ben, South Kensington and the museums.
- Trams and buses
- 35 minutes to the West End and Buckingham Palace
Both Heathrow and Gatwick are easy, and if you do drive a car there's free parking at the property....try finding that in central London!

Town and village
Wimbledon is divided into two: the "town" which has very much the spirit of London with its large department stores, fashion, fashion shows, theatres and cinemas. The "village" is very much a typical English village; from church bells pealing to horses in the streets and riding stables to the vast expanse of Wimbledon Common - you'll experience a slice of a typical English village bang in the middle of London...how perfect is that?
Everything you need, minutes away
What does Wimbledon have to offer? Well:
- High end designer boutiques and 2 shopping centres
- 4 supermarkets, and an array of corner shops
- A French patisserie, 2 artisan bakeries, delis and takeaways

It's a great location but so well serviced you really don't need a car. However if you do have a car then many of the best outside London attractions are within an easy 10-15 minute drive.
Tennis all year round
And it's not just for the two weeks in the summer! The All England Club museum and the Centre Court tour are open all year, a 15 minute walk from the door.
