Step outdoors and experience Wimbledon’s mix of sport, history, and nature with adventures such as historic tours and parklands to explore. There is something for every nature lover or adventurer alike.
ALL ENGLAND LAWN TENNIS CLUB MUSEUM
If you’re not able to go for the actual Wimbledon tournament (tickets can be extremely tricky to get your hands on), or you’re simply visiting outside of the famous “Fortnight”, then you’ll still be able to experience some of the glories of the All England Lawn Tennis Club by joining one of their extensive tours.
You’ll be taken to see the player’s main entrance, the press interview room, and even the holy-ground of Centre Court itself. Award-winning and run by a team of enthusiastic and knowledgeable experts, it’s a fascinating insight into Wimbledon behind-the-scenes. The club is also home to a well-curated museum, where you’ll be able to view the Championship trophies up close. A must for all tennis fans!

WIMBLEDON COMMON
An incredible 1,140 acres of parkland can be found in Wimbledon in the form of Wimbledon and Putney Common and there’s a plethora of activities to get involved in. For keen but experienced horse riders, the nearby riding stables often organise hacks through the parklands.
For sportsmen and women who are after something slightly less demanding, there’s an ever popular golf course – and there’s ample provisions for strollers who are just after a scenic countryside (well, almost) walk on a Sunday afternoon. As an unfenced Common, the grounds are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
