The Neighborhood:
It’s impossible to write a guide to Wimbledon without mentioning the ‘T’ word, but there’s much more to the town than tennis. Its heritage dates back to the Iron Age, and there’s the remains of a fortified village on Wimbledon Common to prove it. There is also a handful of properties that date from the 16th century, when Wimbledon was a royal abode, and a 19th century windmill left over from the town's industrial era, lending a real sense of history to the area. With the wilds of the Common, plus verdant Richmond and Wimbledon Parks close by, and the village at the top of the hill, visitors would be forgiven for thinking they'd left London altogether. The area divides roughly into the busy town, where the station is, and the village. Combined they offer all the practical resources and amenities residents could wish for, alongside a taste of a more countrified life, with open space, boutique shopping and traditional pubs. Families settle here in large numbers and it’s an ever popular destination with commuters, who can get to work in central London in half an hour or so.
Drinking: Wimbledon has an excellent selection of pubs to spend a lazy afternoon in, and bars for a weekend night out too. The best pub in the village is the Rose & Crown but the The Crooked Billet and The Hand in Hand, both a 10 minute walk across the Common, rate highly too. Art deco inspired Terrace is an excellent option in the town.
Eating: From The Light House on Ridgway with its high end menu, to the seasonal menu of The White Onion on the high street, the culinary standard in Wimbledon is good. Make sure you have a reservation for the very popular Ivy Cafe. There is also a clutch of high end chains, such as Côte, which serves tradition French fare, alongside the excellent Thai Tho and Chinese food at Bayee. Sticks'n'Sushi is a Scandi inspired sushi bar, and well worth a visit.
Culture and heritage: View old maps and photographs of the area at the wonderful Museum of Wimbledon. Southside House is a 17th century house maintained in traditional style and crowded with objects drawn from the family who lived here for generations. There are two theatres, the Edwardian era New Wimbledon Theatre, which mounts a varied programme of plays and music, and the Polka Theatre, a centre of drama for children.
Community and events: There's a book swap in the waiting room on platforms five and six at Wimbledon station, and the area shows off its village credentials to visitors with a country style summer fair in June.
Sport: For several weeks in the summer the tennis takes over, and most residents love to get involved. Few people know that you can actually join the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and play on the courts. Indeed, this part of London is a paradise for sport lovers, and there’s a multitude of gyms and fitness centres in Wimbledon, alongside a range of unique sporting facilities. Wimbledon Village Stables are the oldest in England, and offer hacks and lessons. There’s also a running club – Windmilers – that meets every Saturday morning to go off on 5k runs starting and ending at the Windmill.
Getting Around:
4 minute walk to Raynes Park Station from the property.
Tube: Wimbledon Station and Wimbledon Park are both on the District Line and can take you to Earl’s Court in about 17 minutes. Wimbledon South is on the Northern Line and will get you to Bank in 26 minutes.
Rail: National rail services run from Wimbledon Station, including a South West Trains service running to Waterloo (18 minutes) and calling at Clapham Junction (seven minutes) and Vauxhall (12 minutes). Wimbledon Chase and Wimbledon are also served by Thameslink trains that reach Farringdon in 38 minutes.
Tram: A tram runs from Wimbledon all the way to Beckenham Junction, stopping at Croydon and Mitcham Junction passing a multitude of other stops along the way.
