Parks & Nature
Wimbledon Common makes this area a special part of London. The Common is a favourite place for all my visitors.
It is fantastically tranquil space for running, walking or just relaxing in.
It is a unique area which by law is unfenced and this gives it a special atmosphere.

A 67-acre park formed out of the grounds of Wimbledon Manor House, once owned by the Earl of Spencer.

- Crazy golf
- Twenty tennis courts
- Boating and sail training centre
- Athletics track
- Bowling green
- Football pitches

The park owes some of its landscape to the famous Capability Brown who formed the lake by damming a large stream.

Lovely old pub in the corner of Wimbledon Common. Along with its neighbour, the Hand in Hand, this is the place to make for in the summer. And on a cold or wet day, the pub is ideal to get away from bad weather. Nice food too.

A ten-minute walk away from Wimbledon Village. But worth the walk!
A ten-minute walk from Wimbledon Village takes you to this great pub tucked away in the corner of Wimbledon Common alongside the Crooked Billet pub.
Despite being in London, the pub has the atmosphere of a country pub; expect to see people bringing their dogs with them.
This is a great place to make for in the summer as many people spill out onto the grass outside the pub.
But on a cold or wet day, the inside of pub is an ideal retreat.
The food is not cheap but is averagely priced for the Wimbledon area. Highly recommended.

This gem of a pub is a 15-minute walk from the apartment but is really well hidden. Ask for directions! When you do find it, you will find a surprisingly large pub with great food and drink and many events on. It has many outside tables making it perfect for a sunny day. Go find it!
