provides a good collection of bistros, restaurants and pubs and during the
fortnight of the tennis championship the streets are crowded with visitors
enjoying the facilities. The newly reopened New Wimbledon Theatre on the

Wimbledon restaurants Wimbledon Common Wimbledon Common The Commons are legally protected by the Wimbledon and Putney Commons Act of 1871 from being enclosed or built upon. They are for the benefit of local people for informal recreation and the preservation of natural flora and fauna. The Commons are the largest expanse of heathland in the London area. There is an area of bog with unique flora. The western slopes, which lie on London Clay, support mature mixed woodland. The Commons are also a flagship site for the stag beetle. |
Wimbledon 2010 Tennis Championships The Wimbledon 2010 tennis championships will run from 21st June 2010 to 4th July 2010 following the Australian Open, French Open and the Queen's Club Championships in London which is a popular warm up tournament for Wimbledon. The first Wimbledon tennis championship took place in 1877. Roger Federer's epic and historic victory in the 2009 men's singles final brought the 123rd Championships to a fitting climax in the evening sunshine on Centre Court. After four and a quarter hours he finally overcame the American Andy Roddick in a 30-game fifth set, the longest in Wimbledon history, to claim a record 15th Grand Slam title. |
