Days Out - Playing at Wimbledon

Canary Wharf

 

Morning

Wimbledon Lawn Tennis MuseumLeafy Wimbledon is generally associated with the two-week tennis tournament in the summer, but these famous courts can be visited all year round.

The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum includes a state of the art exhibition. The 200° cinema will transport you into the heart of a championship match while the behind-the-scenes tour will take you into the player's gym, the main press interview room and Centre Court.

If you want to sport the total Wimbledon look then pop into the shop and purchase some trendy sports wear. Even for non-tennis fans, it's a great place to visit. And of course with all the interactive elements, you can tell your friends (who weren't there) that you have played at Wimbledon!

All this close proximity to exercise will probably have made you pretty hungry, so we suggest a carb fix. San Lorenzo Fuoriporta is a great place to refuel on authentic Italian cuisine and is a favourite of Boris Becker. Apparently his preferred meal is mozzarella, avocado and tomato, Spaghetti Napoli followed by lemon sorbet. Yum…

Afternoon

A real highlight is the Wimbledon Windmill - it was here that Baden-Powell was inspired to write part of Scouting for Boys in 1908. Now it’s time to go shopping. Wimbledon Village is frightfully smart and very pretty, and is an excellent place for a spot of retail therapy.
