Moving to Wimbledon?

Wimbledon is a suburb of London and part of the London Borough of Merton, located around seven miles South West of central London. It is a popular and affluent area, best known for its connection with the game of Tennis and enjoys excellent transport links with London, further enhancing its popularity with commuters. There is over ground options from Wimbledon station which provides an interchange to the London Underground station of the same name which is on the District Line. South West trains facilitate regular over ground services into central London and also other parts of the South West.

Wimbledon’s origins date back to Iron Age times but it became important around the time of Henry VIII. The 17th Century saw Wimbledon attracting quite a number of wealthy families from London, keen to build large houses in the area as a country retreat. The village continued to grow and soon stage coach services became common making the journey to London relatively routine, however it wasn’t until the latter part of the 19th Century that Wimbledon really took off. The introduction of the railway and the underground was the catalyst resulting in huge population increase combined with the building of many terraced houses along the main roads. The nearby areas of Raynes Park and Merton Park also saw considerable rises in population as a result.

Wimbledon’s population maintained its increase all the way through the early 20th Century until it was truly an urbanised centre, with a council and in 1905 became a metropolitan Borough in its own right. The latter part of that century saw war damage, more population ingress and the conversion of a lot of the Victorian stock of housing into flats to accommodate incomers.

Wimbledon’s modern attraction remains largely intact today with its primary strengths being its location and an ability to offer a leisurely lifestyle in a relatively small self-sufficient town. The commercial activity is largely focused on the High Road and the High Street of Wimbledon village itself. In the heart of the town centre is Centre Court shopping mall a fine example of modern retail facilities offering the normal range of chain stores, restaurants under one roof. Wimbledon village, between the High Road and Wimbledon common is smaller with more of a traditional feel, offering a nice range of boutique style shops, cafes and restaurants. It’s very picturesque and makes the trip out to this neighbourhood a very worthwhile one. The town is also blessed with other good facilities such as a large cinema complex and Theatre as well as a host of leisure centres and gyms.

If you want to eat out in town and I suggest you should, stick to the village and first of all try Lydon’s on the High Street, it’s excellent. Also worth your time and money is Loch Fyne Wet Fish, which as the name suggests is excellent seafood haunt.

No talk of Wimbledon would be complete without mentioning the annual tennis championships held at The All England Club, one of the major dates on the entire sporting calendar.

Famous Wimbledon residents include Lord Horatio Nelson and late actor Oliver Reed
