Wimbledon Common
Wimbledon Common and its 1,140 acres of woodland is the perfect place for an outdoor adventure.
Wimbledon is known internationally for one thing: the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. This historic world-renowned championship, which started in 1877, sees thousands make their yearly pilgrimage to SW19 in order to soak up some sporting greatness in the unpredictable British summer.
But that doesn’t mean that for the majority of the year when the tennis isn't on that there’s nothing to do. In fact, Wimbledon has loads on offer. From the windmill museum to the famous common and a theatre that’s home to some of London’s best family-friendly shows, there are activities a-plenty. You can also stumble upon the area’s restaurants and brilliant pubs and bars, some of which sprawl on to the common in the summer months.
