Famous for its tennis, Wimbledon serves an ace in terms of housing, transport and amenities.
Living in Wimbledon
There was a time when Wimbledon was a down-market shabby corner in south-west London, notable solely for giving its name to the tennis championships. Not anymore; Wimbledon today is a wealthy suburb with a fine mix of substantial Victorian houses complemented by a small percentage of more modern properties including low rise apartment houses.
Wimbledon Broadway is the town's shopping hub and thanks to a sensitively designed shopping mall called Centre Court, it has a lot to offer. Opposite Centre Court is a recently constructed leisure centre incorporating a fitness club and a multi-screen Odeon cinema. There are plenty of major department stores and supermarkets in the compact town, and a wide choice of mass-market style restaurants.
The original Wimbledon is Wimbledon Village at the top of Wimbledon Hill. When London Transport was looking to build a station in the 19th century, it was constructed on an escarpment near the foot of the hill and the Wimbledon we know today formed around it.
There are many substantial, detached houses and blocks of flats lining the roads that lead up to Wimbledon Village, which is one of the most expensive residential areas in London. Fortunately, property prices down the hill in Wimbledon, Raynes Park and Southfields are more accessible.
A good choice of local state and private schools, superb transport links, and the magnificent Wimbledon Common with its famous windmill and fictional furry creatures called Wombles all contribute to Wimbledon's popularity with both families and individuals.
Transport
Wimbledon tube and train station lies adjacent to Centre Court shopping mall and is the terminus for the District line. The mainline station is served by South West Trains and there is a frequent service to Clapham Junction and London Waterloo, and to Surbiton, Kingston-upon-Thames and the south west.
A tram service also operates between Wimbledon station and New Addington via Mitcham Junction and West and East Croydon railway stations.
At the southern end of Wimbledon Broadway is South Wimbledon tube station which is the penultimate station on the Northern line.

History and culture
The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club was founded in 1868 just off Worple Road in Wimbledon. In 1922 the club moved to its present site in Church Road, which is much nearer to Southfields than Wimbledon. The original sports ground is now used by Wimbledon High School, an independent school for girls.
Wimbledon Theatre has recently been refurbished and hosts many delightful plays and musicals including a popular Christmas pantomime. Further down Wimbledon Broadway is the Polka Theatre which puts on shows for young children.
