History of Wimbledon
Wimbledon is an interesting holiday destination at any time of year, thanks to green open spaces, a beautiful hilltop village, and a traditional windmill.
Plan an ideal trip to Wimbledon
Southwest of London, Wimbledon is known as the home of the two-week Grand Slam tournament that takes place every July. However, this posh residential area also offers pleasant streets, unique boutiques, the Wimbledon Common, and traditional pubs. Wimbledon holiday lettings, which range from cosy apartments to large private houses, are a convenient way to attend the tournament, as well as take a day trip into the centre of London to see the city's museums, parks, and iconic landmarks.
