Town centre, Village and Common
Wimbledon has two sides. Down the hill is the town centre around the station and The Broadway, with the Centre Court Shopping Centre and the New Wimbledon Theatre. Up the hill is Wimbledon Village, with its High Street of shops and restaurants, and beyond it Wimbledon Common with the windmill. The All England Lawn Tennis Club, home of The Championships, is between the Village and Southfields.
The tennis fortnight
Every summer, The Championships bring huge crowds to Wimbledon. Roads around the grounds get very busy and some have traffic restrictions. If you are going, book early, agree drop-off and pick-up points that work with the restrictions, and keep your phone on. Groups can share a 7 seater taxi.

A busy station

Where we pick up
We cover Wimbledon town centre, Wimbledon Village, South Wimbledon and the streets around the Common, plus nearby Raynes Park. To the west, New Malden and Kingston Vale have their own pages.
Two ways from Wimbledon to Kingston
There are two common routes between Wimbledon and Kingston. One goes over the top of Wimbledon Common and down Kingston Hill. The other goes through Raynes Park and New Malden. Both can be slow at peak times, and the driver will pick the quicker one on the day. Off-peak, the trip usually takes 15 to 25 minutes.
Theatre, shopping and nights out
Wimbledon town centre has the New Wimbledon Theatre, a big shopping centre and plenty of restaurants and bars. If you are heading out for the evening, book your ride home at the same time and agree a pick-up point, as The Broadway is busy late at night. For Wimbledon Village, the High Street is quieter but parking is limited, so a side-road pick-up is often easiest.
