Opening times
Visit Wimbledon Museum during our opening hours, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 2:30 to 5pm. Entry is free of charge.

The nearest tube/train station is Wimbledon and the museum is a few minutes walk up Wimbledon Hill Road. Buses 93, 493 and 200 pass close by and there is street parking (free on Sunday) within a short walk. For London Transport information visit www.tfl.gov.uk
Access
Wimbledon Museum is on the first floor, up a flight of stairs which has a handrail on each side. The museum is small and there are places to sit down. We are happy to arrange special visits to the Museum at times when it is not normally open, for those who would like to take their time climbing the stairs, or would welcome a quieter environment in which to view the displays.
