Wimbledon Park is a residential ward in the London Borough of Merton, centred on the public park and ornamental lake from which it takes its name. The green space provides boating, sports facilities and tree-lined promenades, and the area benefits from good transport links via Wimbledon Park tube station (District line) and numerous buses, with Wimbledon town centre and the All England Lawn Tennis Club a short distance away.
The neighbourhood grew up during late 19th and early 20th-century suburban expansion and today shows a mixed housing stock and population: private homes sit alongside social housing and newer developments. Local life revolves around small shops, schools and community groups, many residents commute into central London while enjoying the relatively leafy feel and frequent local events in and around the park.
