All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, Wimbledon, London

Where else would you rather be during a british summer?
Fantastic!!

I have been twice to the championships and will be going this year. It is one of the best organised events in the country.

Tickets on the day are very reasonable in price. The queue is long but is controlled in an organised fashion with plenty of facilities whilst you wait. Once the gates open the security is efficient and fast. The ticket booths likewise are quick.

The outside courts are great for spectating and movement is fairly easy between them. The ticket resale on the show courts is the best offer in sport and potentially allow you to see the best players of all time for £5 charity donation (plus gen admission entry).

Food options could be better, but generally one of the best days out for any sport/tennis fan.

Apart from the long queues early in the morning, the Wimbeldon Champsionship really does embed Britishness and sport very well. On a nice summers day it can be a great plesure watching one of the games

Nice place & good people, the only thing is you just hope to see a good match but always like going when its on.

For all the people that are not from the UK. I went on a tour of the stadium last year which I really enjoyed and would recommend. As you get to go inside the stadiums and get interesting history about the games and facilites. I was really impressed that I wanted to get a ticket to Wimbeldon the following year, however I was unaware at for most seats you have to go into a ballet that closes in Jan/Feb at the beginning of the year. And whilst they do realease seats on the day of the tournamet you have to get to the stadium super early to get in. I did go down and the que had already had too many people in it that all the seats for the next day had already been calculated as gone! So I was a bit disappointed about that. Fingers crossed though that I can see it next year :)

You have to go!

Experienced my first tennis at Wimbledon yesterday and watched the first English lady, Katie O'Brien, go out, beaten by the Japanese, Date-Krumm, in the cosy, new Show Court 3. The atmosphere in the grounds is fabulous, the surroundings are so undeniably English. The whole place just buzzes with excitement. It's rather addictive since I can't wait to go again but this time I'll have to pay as I'd managed to win tickets on the Wimbledon website itself. I don't think my husband would ever agree to queuing so I can't just drag him along, nor any sane member of my family! I will have to rely on the ballot next year.... We watched queues forming of fans outside the clubhouse, hoping to catch a glimpse of Nadal, but my impatient husband pulled me from the scrum! It's brilliant fun with the unpredictable Engllish weather adding to the mix - it just happened that the forecasters were right for once as the rain came down bang on cue at 5 pm. Also, as an avid gardener, I just love the co-ordinated flowers - the displays are truly beautiful.

Ive been to Wimbledon a couple of times and enjoyed it, if the weather is kind to you that makes everything. That was before the roof. Partook in the obligatory strawberries and cream which were delicious. The Pimms is very good too ! It is expensive but well worth experiencing if you havent been before. Thats if you can get a ticket !

I've only ever been to the club when the championships are running, but it's very well organised, clean and the catering isn't bad either. A few years ago the food there was terrible but lately it's quite good, and if you can take the time off work it makes a fabulous day out, even if you have to queue to get in (that's part of the fun) :)

Wimbledon Tennis is the best watching it on tv is no good after you have been there and watched it all live. The atmosphere, the games, the players the staff all make this a fantatsic thing to witness. amazing

Wimbledon is totally amazing and I had the best day of my life so far..and that’s no exaggeration!! Myself and my mom got debenture tickets for opening day on centre court. It was without a doubt an incredible experience. We went to the Roof Top bar to get drinks and have a sandwich before play began. Get your orders in early as there were many people stressing and nearly missing the start of play due to a delay in the kitchen. They only offer 3 types of sandwich but they are really good and a nice snack. There are many other seated atble served restaurants if you prefer a bigger meal. Every member of staff we met were so friendly and helpful. They were extremely accommodating when all we wanted were strawberries and champagne in the afternoon tea lounge, which has great views over some of the outer courts.

Centre court itself is simply great. The atmosphere is wonderful.

I recommend catching the buses they put on to and from the grounds as it is only £4 return and the traffic routes give priority to the buses, so it’s much quicker than trying to get a taxi.

I love watching Wimbledon on the tv every year so when i got the chance to go Centre Court at the Federer v Nadal final a few years ago I was ecstatic and couldn’t wait.It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life and I would go back any day if I got the chance.Tickets are expensive but totally worth it when you get there,there is a bit of queueing to get in but everyone is in good spirits so it’s not too bad.There are lots of courts that you can watch for free and you can sit on Henman Hill and watch the main match.You can also queue after 5 and try to get re-sale tickets for some of the bigger courts for a much cheaper price.A great place to visit.

I have been to Wimbledon twice and both times have been great. Even though I haven’t seen any of the top seeded matches, there are plenty of great players to watch. If you go after 5pm you can queue to get in and get centre court and court 1 resale tickets for a fiver.
You can also wander in and out of the smaller matches going on and get to see plenty of people (that comes with the entrance ticket).

Wimbledon is one of the best of the tennis gram slams, and the only one on grass. If you can get a ticket during the tournament is a great special, the cheapest all an all day ground pass. But then you do not see and show courts, they have large screens so you can still with games on number 1 and centre court. If you want to see big games they you will need to apply for tickets soon after the event has finished, for next year as the tickets are done by a ballot. On the day you can also but return for matches that people have handed a ticket back for and gone home early
For other time of the year they have great museum if you visit out side if the Wimbledon fortnight

The All England Lawn Tennis Club & Croquet Club is a not-for-profit organisation. The taxed funds generated by The Championships, are used by the LTA to develop tennis in Great Britain. Great and competitive sports club.

It’s here. And it’s almost over. The two weeks of every year when people remember what that peculiar game called tennis is, and our mums and girlfriends pick up their rackets and rush to the park in the vain hope that they can emulate the grace and elegance of Chris Evert of old, or Ana Ivanovic of now. Well, what’s the harm in trying . .

But if you head down to SW17 yourself, you’re in for a big surprise. Actually attending the championships is one of the most memorable summer days you’re likely to spend this year. Brimming with life, the whole place is like a tennis theme park, with stalls selling pimms, champagne and all kinds of food imaginable, speed of serve challenges, oh, and some world class tennis.

You’re unlikely to get onto a show court if you turn up, but what people often forget is that there is tennis going on all over the place: Doubles, Mixed, Juniors et al fight it out on the outside courts, and it’s all breathtakingly good. Or just pop up to Henman Hill and catch another Brit fighting for us all.

Going to Wimbledon has revived my love of tennis! I used to watch the tournies on tv when I was young (ah the good ol’ days) and somehow slacked off in recent years. No more! It was really thrilling to snag a seat in centre court and get swayed along with the crowd’s oohing and ahhing, and to have chilled on henman hill as Murray took Gasquet to the cleaners. Great time!

A few quick tips: Bring water, stuff to nibble (unless you’d rather paying an arm and a leg for grub there), and take advantage of the allowed 1 bottle of wine or 2 beers per person if you’re so inclined. And better to scoop up any drinks you want to bring beforehand rather than rely on the selection at the nearby Spar.

Perhaps I’m not quite as enthusiastic as ahunter but I still rate it 5*. As far as I know there are no other major sporting events in this country where you can still queue up to buy tickets on the day. This is what makes the wimbledon experience so special and worth experiencing.

Having said I’m not as enthusiastic, I would still definately “change ends” with Sue Barker. Does that work as an innuendo? Not sure it does, but didn’t want to lower the tone with something about “new balls”...

Ahhhh.... the All England Club. The home of tennis. When i win Wimbledon, they're going to build a statue of me at the top of the hill. People will come from miles around to see my marble chizzled greatness overlooking sw19. Sue Barker and I will get married (come on, she's still hot), we'll have two labradors and a summer house in tuscany. Jonny Mac and Boris Becker will be my best friends. David Mercer will call me a legend. OK, OK...... i'm snapping out of it. As you can tell, i bloody love the All England Club. There is no better place to watch tennis. Here's a tip if you have got tickets and you love live sport - Get in the queue on the sunday night just before week 2. Queue overnight and you should get to the ticket office by about 10.30am. You will be guaranteed a seat in the first 3 rows on centre court for the last 16. I cannot tell you what an amazing experience it is being front and centre on this court. £60! Hell, I'd pay double that. In fact, I'd probably sell a kidney.
