Wimbledon
Wimbledon is world famous as the home of the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, set in a beautiful London suburb of common land, independent village streets and outstanding Victorian and Edwardian residential architecture. From the All England Club to Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park, Wimbledon offers a distinctively English combination of sporting heritage and relaxed suburban quality.
Elect's take
"Wimbledon has an English charm that is very appealing. The combination of the tournament, the village atmosphere, the common and the quality of the restaurants creates a destination with a character that is entirely its own."
The Wimbledon Championships in late June and early July is one of the world's great sporting occasions. The All England Club museum is open year round. Wimbledon Village is one of London's most charming high streets. Wimbledon Common provides 1100 acres of beautiful open space. Richmond Park with its free-roaming deer herds is immediately adjacent.
