Wimbledon 2026 ends in:
Getting to the Grounds
The nearest Underground station is Southfields Station on the District Line. It is approximately a 15-minute walk to the Grounds. Southfields Station has lifts and boarding ramps.
Wimbledon Station is served by the District Line, South Western Railway and London Trams. It is approximately a 20-minute walk to the Grounds.
Wimbledon Park Station is also on the District Line and is approximately a 25-minute walk to the Grounds.
A dedicated Championships bus service runs from Wimbledon Station to the Grounds during The Championships. Return buses depart from Car Park 1 on Somerset Road.
The 493 TfL bus service is diverted during The Championships. The 2026 route runs in both directions via Bathgate Road, Queensmere Road, Parkside and High Street Wimbledon.
Accessible parking
Blue Badge parking is available at the following car parks:
- Car Park 5: for registered debenture holders with Blue Badges
- Car Park 6: for other Blue Badge holders
Parking for The Championships must be pre-booked. On-the-day parking is not available.
Registered debenture holders can book parking through their myWimbledon account via wimbledon.com or the Wimbledon App.
Other ticket holders can book Car Park 6 through the Getting Here section on wimbledon.com.
If you have bought a Wimbledon debenture ticket from a debenture holder and need Car Park 5 parking, you may need to ask the registered debenture holder to arrange this for you.
Blue Badge drop-off and pick-up
A Blue Badge drop-off point is available opposite Gate 13 on Somerset Road.
If a debenture ticket holder would like to be dropped closer to the debenture entrance at Gate 4, the registered debenture holder can request a drop-off or pick-up pass, known as a DOPU pass.
A DOPU pass allows a private taxi or chauffeur car to pass through the Church Road closure and drop off or collect guests within Car Park 5, near the Guest Arrival Hub. It does not entitle the vehicle to park.
A buggy shuttle service operates on request from Car Park 5 and can take guests to a point opposite Gate 4.
Taxis and ride-sharing services
Taxis to the Grounds from Southfields Station depart from the rank in Augustus Road and drop off inside Car Park 8.
Taxis to the Grounds from Wimbledon Station depart from the rank outside the station's main entrance and drop off at Marryat Road, near the junction with Somerset Road, close to Gates 12 and 13.
Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Bolt must use the designated drop-off and pick-up areas on Marryat Road and Wimbledon Park Road. Ride-sharing vehicles cannot pass through the Church Road closure.
For journeys back towards Southfields or central London, exit via Gate 1 on Church Road. For journeys back towards Wimbledon Station or the south, exit via Gate 12 on Somerset Road.
Accessible seating
The AELTC continues to improve accessible routes for wheelchair users. Maps and guides of accessible routes are displayed throughout the Grounds and are also available through the Wimbledon App.
Designated reserved seating for wheelchair users is available on the following courts:
| Court | Location | Gangway/Access |
|---|---|---|
| Centre Court | South end | Gangway 101 |
| Centre Court | North end | Gangway 109 |
| Centre Court | Level 5 | Lift access on the north-east, north-west and south-east sides |
| No.1 Court | Level 2 | Gangways 8 and 12 on the east side, and 26 and 30 on the west side |
| No.2 Court | South side | Gangways 8 and 12 |
| No.3 Court | West side | Gangway 10 |
| Outdoor Screen | Aorangi Terrace | Reserved area |
In accordance with safety regulations, wheelchair users are required to sit in designated wheelchair areas only.
If you are allocated tickets in the Wimbledon Public Ballot, you can use one of the tickets for a companion.
Accessible toilets
Accessible toilets are located throughout the Grounds. Access is gained with a National Key Scheme (NKS) Radar Key.
If you do not have a Radar Key, you can obtain one at the entrance gates or at an information point within the Grounds. You can also purchase a Radar Key ahead of The Championships from Disability Rights UK.
Accessible toilets are located at the following locations:
| Court | Location |
|---|---|
| Centre Court | North side |
| Centre Court | Level 5 |
| No.1 Court | Level 2, all corners |
| No.1 Court | Level 3, all corners |
| No.2 Court | South and east sides |
| No.3 Court | West side |
| Court 12 | West side near Gate 12 |
| Court 18 | North side, including Changing Places facilities |
Hearing impairment
Assistive listening is available through induction hearing loops located throughout the Grounds. These areas are marked with the hearing loop logo.
Visual impairment and guide dogs
Guide dogs are admitted to the Grounds and Show Courts, but must remain with their owner at all times.
There are no dog toileting areas within the Grounds, so you should plan ahead before travelling.
Sensory and family support
The Southern Village includes a Family & Sensory Room. This is available for families who need a private feeding space and for guests who need a calmer area away from the crowds.
Eating and drinking
There are many food and drink options throughout the Grounds, including restaurants, bars, larders, cafes and takeaway points.
Guests with special dietary requirements are welcome to bring their own food and drink. If you think buying food and drink at the Grounds may be difficult, it may be sensible to bring what you need with you.
There are also free water refill points around the Grounds and in debenture areas.
Further information
Wimbledon stewards and staff are available to help throughout the day.
You can also contact the Wimbledon Ticket Office before The Championships on 020 8971 2473.
