By plane
Wimbledon is almost equidistant between the two major London Airports, Gatwick Airport and Heathrow Airport.
The quickest way from Gatwick is to catch a fast (http://www.southernrailway.com) Southern train for Victoria and get off at Clapham Junction. Here, change onto a South West Trains service south bound to Wimbledon weekdays: 15 an hour.
From Heathrow, you can either catch the London Underground Piccadilly Line from Heathrow to Earls Court and change onto the District Line to Wimbledon, or you can catch the Heathrow Express or Heathrow Connect service to London Paddington Station and then catch a Wimbledon bound District line train from there. Both of these require luggage movement through underground stations.

Wimbledon is serviced by the following stations:
Wimbledon District line. During the Tennis Championships, direct buses run from outside for a small charge.

Though the District Line is the most obvious choice from central London, it is usually the least efficient.
