In short: Wimbledon combines a hilltop Village of boutiques, pubs and period houses with a busy town centre around the station, which has the District line, fast trains to Waterloo, Thameslink and Tramlink. Wimbledon Common and Cannizaro Park offer over 1,000 acres of green space, and the Championships bring the world to SW19 every summer. Homes range from Victorian terraces in South Wimbledon to large detached houses near the Common, with strong demand from families for its schools.
