Wimbledon - London miniguides

Wimbledon has a distinctive rural feel, with period buildings and access to vast open spaces making it unique in London. Whether you desire pampering, retail therapy at independently run boutiques, or all things culinary you will not be disappointed. You can relax in beauty shops and salons and you can admire haute couture, jewellery, books, fine art and antiques. You can sample international cuisine from restaurants and delis, relax in coffee shops or visit traditional public houses or wine bars in the evenings when the Village relaxes. Take advantage of the open spaces by exploring the Common on foot or on horseback, picnic in Cannizaro Park, visit Wimbledon Museum and Southside House for local history or the Museum of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

For those in the know, Wimbledon is where you'll find one of London's most perfect villages.

If the sun is shining, there's nothing better than taking a picnic onto Wimbledon Common. Bayley and Sage stocks delicious pastas, wines, cheeses and other tasty morsels. And as you're tucking into your lunch, you could even spot a Womble – they're native to these parts!
