How do you get to Wimbledon? Are public transport options available?
The address for the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club is: Church Road, Wimbledon, London, SW19 5AE
Public transport is available for Wimbledon and recommended by the tournament. Nearby underground (or “tube”) stops include: Southfields on the District Line and Wimbledon on the District and Main Lines. The Wimbledon stop is popular as it is also a connection point for traditional train/rail service. However, the walk from the Wimbledon station to the tournament is a bit long and uphill, so if you have the option – get off at Southfields. That said, a shuttle service from Wimbledon station to the tournament is available for a fee and tickets can be purchased here.
To check schedules and see all available transport options, please see the Transport for London official website.
For flights, London’s Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) are your closest and best options; both are major international airports.
