THE NEIGHBORHOOD- OVERVIEW
The flat is ideally located on Wimbledon Park Road, Southfields. 250m from Southfields Station and 850 metres from the No. 1 Court Wimbledon. You can reach the main tourist places in central London in 25mins on the tube.
Southfields is the gateway for Wimbledon tennis championships. It offers grocery stores, supermarkets and restaurants.
The picturesque and quaint Wimbledon Village was built up from an old medieval village. It is an eight minute bus up the hill or 25 minute walk. Wimbledon Village has all manner of high street shops, bars and restaurants. The Ivy Cafe is a popular one to book during your stay. Tennis Veterans let their hair down and party the night away in the village.
Gourmet Pubs such as the Crooked Billet, Fox and Grapes and Hand in Hand are my favourites to visit and you can walk back through Wimbledon Common via the Windmill for a cheeky ice cream stop. The Wimbledon Common is well worth a morning or afternoon stroll.
Wimbledon Park nearby also has a playground for children, volleyball and public tennis courts (bookable online) and the lake to see the swans and local wildlife.
