Areas to stay near Wimbledon

Wimbledon Village

Just a short distance from the All England Club, Southfields provides a quieter residential feel with easy access to the tennis action. It’s a great choice for those looking for a peaceful stay while still being close to the excitement.
Central London
For those who want to combine their Wimbledon experience with the hustle and bustle of city life, staying in London offers a mass of hotel choices. Transport links make it easy to get in and out of the city, so you can easily travel to the tournament while pitching up in the city.

Booking tips for Wimbledon 2025 Championships
Getty ImagesSecuring your accommodation for the Wimbledon 2025 Championships requires some strategic planning. Make sure to familiarise yourself with these tips so you can have a smooth and enjoyable experience:
Start with comparison sites like Booking.com, Expedia, or Hotels.com to get a price baseline.
Read reviews obsessively, especially recent ones mentioning Wimbledon experiences. Look for comments about transportation links, noise levels, and breakfast quality during tournament periods.
Check cancellation policies carefully - many hotels implement stricter terms during the Wimbledon fortnight. Free cancellation might drop to 72 hours or disappear entirely.
Specify special requirements upfront: wheelchair accessibility, connecting family rooms, or pet policies. Don't assume standard amenities will be available.
Book early morning or late evening when hotels often release additional inventory or offer last-minute deals.
Consider location trade-offs - staying slightly further from Centre Court but near tube stations can save hundreds, while maintaining easy access.
How to get tickets for Wimbledon 2025?
While the official Wimbledon 2025 ballot may be closed, with tickets allocated randomly to those who had applied, there are still other ways to get your hands on a ticket for the Championships.
Firstly, there is The Queue, where fans can turn up on the day to purchase tickets for the action taking place that day. Wimbledon remains one of the few major sporting events in the world that reserves tickets for box-office sales at the door. A limited number of tickets are reserved for every day of action on Centre Court, Court No. 1, and Court No. 2 - called Show Court tickets - while fans can also purchase the Grounds Pass, which gives them access to the action being played on other courts throughout the day.
You can also secure yourself some Wimbledon hospitality tickets, including tickets with tailored menus, complimentary drinks and direct access to the courts included. You can make it a big day out with the chance to secure a premium package. There are limited options left, so you'll want to book them as soon as possible.
Even with days sold out in advance, fans unable to attend often list their tickets through StubHub, allowing customers to try for a second chance at securing their place at one of the greatest sporting events in the world. StubHub's website guarantees that you will get tickets in time for the event you are attending and a valid entry ticket.
