Description

Welcome to Wimbledon Museum is a local history museum at 22 Ridgway, Wimbledon, in the London Borough of Merton. The museum was established in 1916. In 1916, local people came together to conserve the treasures and share the stories that made Wimbledon special.

They founded a museum and for more than 100 years, successive generations have championed and cherished our local history here. Restored and redesigned for the 21st century, Wimbledon Museum invites people to make new connections and deepen their understanding of the place we love.

Entry is free of charge. If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
