Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum & Tour

Ever dreamed of gliding through the gates of Wimbledon? I have and would highly recommend this experience to all - tennis fans or not. As expected, the place is kept in tip top condition and it oozes class! You can easily spend half a day here - I did! The museum offers entry and centre court tours for £22 per adult and £13 per child. 


The museum provides a remarkable multi-dimensional tour of the traditions, triumphs, sights and sounds that have made Wimbledon the most coveted title in tennis. Upon entry visitors are provided with interactives, touch screens and audio guides (available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Croatian, Portuguese and Mandarin) to help you experience the artistry and athleticism of tennis throughout time.


The tour of the grounds provides visitor with access to restricted areas normally closed to the public. The tour runs for 90 minutes and the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and polite. I would strongly advise pre-booking tours online as they do fill up very quickly. 

There are a number of transportation options available. Check out the official Wimbledon website for details of how to get here: http://www.wimbledon.com/index.html
