Wimbledon is most famous for its yearly tennis competition, and offers a lot to potential residents. The area has excellent rail and tube/underground links to both London and Surrey.
Located in the London borough of Merton, Wimbledon is a big place; consisting of Wimbledon, Wimbledon Village, South Wimbledon and Wimbledon Chase. All of these areas are easy to get to, on foot or via public transport. In recent years, the town centre has been rejuvenated, and in the last six or seven years many new flats, apartments and shops have been built.
Housing choices available
There is a huge variety of accommodation available in Wimbledon. South Wimbledon has a large housing estate, as well as tower blocks and maisonettes, whilst Wimbledon Village offers custom built mansions and penthouses. There is also a great market for people wanting to rent, with a huge amount of good quality accommodation.
Wimbledon is one of the most lovely places in London to live. Unless you are a millionaire or a well-known tennis player, Wimbledon Village is unlikely to be affordable for you in terms of housing. However, sometimes a flat or apartment may be privately let beneath the usual rates, so it is always worth a look.
There is a wide variety of flats and house shares available in central Wimbledon, and these are much cheaper, and considerably cheaper than those in Putney. If you are looking to spend a little more, there are plenty of new apartments available too, although the price difference between new and old properties is quite steep. South Wimbledon is the cheapest area, although it is perhaps a little more edgy than the town centre. The borough of Merton has one of the lowest crime rates in London.
Diverse population and culture
There is a large community of immigrants in Wimbledon from the southern hemisphere, in addition to a large South African community, hence the nickname 'WimbleDurban', and the lively weekend nightlife. Most of the English residents in Wimbledon are young professional tenants, as well as family homeowners. The upmarket area at the top of Wimbledon Hill (The Village) is where millionaires and celebrities go out to play in swanky bars.
South Wimbledon is a very diverse area indeed, and in particular there are a lot of North African and Polish people there. As a result of this diversity, Wimbledon has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. No matter where you are from, you are sure to find people from a wide range of cultures.
Parks and leisure activities
Wimbledon Common is a tranquil and quiet place to visit, with its woodland, windmill, tearoom and lake, as well as being home to the Wombles. If you are more energetic, Wimbledon Park has water sports, playing fields, tennis courts and mini golf. Because of its location on the outskirts of London, there is a lot of green space, which is great in summer.
