Championships fortnight
During the tournament, Church Road and Somerset Road operate under restrictions, resident permit enforcement widens, and the roads around the grounds carry very large pedestrian flows. Set-down and collection points are managed, and they are not always where a first-time visitor expects them to be. We agree a specific point with each client before the day and confirm it again that morning.
The practical advice for anyone attending is to be dropped further out and walk in, and to be collected from a point that the crowd is not walking through. Southfields and the Wimbledon Park side both offer options depending on which gate you are using.
Residents of the surrounding streets face the mirror image of the same problem. Getting a car to a door on Marryat Road or Burghley Road during the fortnight requires planning, and we would rather have that conversation in May than on the morning itself.
