Winkworth Wimbledon Estate Agents

As well as being home to the oldest and most prestigious tennis championships in the world, Wimbledon is renowned for its abundant greenery, excellent schools and beautiful homes, all within a 30-minute commute of central London. Wimbledon comprises heritage, culture and charming homes, making it a wonderful place to live.

The best of both worlds: combining heritage and modern vibrancy
Wimbledon comprises two distinct areas – the historic Wimbledon Village and the modern Wimbledon Town, offering both a quaint village ambience and the bustling, contemporary town centre. Wimbledon Village was built on the vestiges of the medieval village, with this rich legacy evident in Wimbledon’s High Street. Wimbledon town emerged in the industrial period with the arrival of the railway in 1838, accelerating the area’s rapid urban development. Today, residents can enjoy both the town’s historical appeal and modern amenities.

Homes that cater to every preference
The blend of Wimbledon’s modern and historical features results in a wide choice of property types, ranging from large family homes built in the 1950s to newly built homes with spacious gardens to quaint two-bedroom cottages. More highly priced homes are situated on the wider avenues of Wimbledon Village and towards the southern fringes of the Common, including the esteemed Parkside area. Those seeking more affordable but highly sought-after homes can find them at the end of The Broadway in South Wimbledon. Colloquially known as ‘the Battles’, these five roads are named after the Battle of Trafalgar.

Leisure and recreation
Wimbledon offers an array of attractions, including traditional pubs, fashionable boutique stores and chic cafés. Shopping choices are ample, with the town offering luxury designer fashion from Wimbledon’s 125-year-old independent department store, Elys, and high street brands and state-of-the-art gym facilities in Wimbledon Quarter located right next to the station, where The Broadway meets Queens Road.

The verdant fields of Wimbledon Common provide the perfect setting for walking and cycling. Wimbledon Park, with its playgrounds and serene lake, offers a family-friendly retreat. For equestrian pursuits, residents can book private or group riding lessons at the award-winning Wimbledon Village Stables.

Cultural enthusiasts can view the latest films at Wimbledon’s Odeon Cinema or enjoy performances at the New Wimbledon Theatre, as well as the Polka Theatre which is one of the few venues in the UK dedicated to producing world-class theatre for children. The Broadway is home to a great selection of pubs, bars and clubs, while the Wimbledon Common presents the perfect setting for a leisurely drink or Sunday lunch at The Crooked Billet or The Hand in Hand. Additionally, there is an exciting assortment of restaurants and cafés for a tempting bite to eat.
