A short introduction to Wimbledon
Wimbledon has become an affluent suburb of South West London. It was originally a small village, and then, after the railways were built in the nineteenth century, it has continued to grow. The area has been inhabited since the Iron Age, and the remains of a hill fort can still be seen on the parkland of Wimbledon Common. Wimbledon has a relaxed atmosphere and sophisticated vibe, despite being part of London’s commuter belt. In particular, the quarter around Wimbledon Station and the Broadway offers exciting restaurants and bars. This introduction will provide a brief guide to first-time visitors.
