There will be no Tubes on Thursday 6 August and Southfields and Wimbledon tube stations will be closed. We are expecting normal service to resume on Friday.
Please use national rail services to Wimbledon and local bus services. Please also allow extra time for your journey.

Buses (Championships only)
London General operates a shuttle bus service direct to The Championships from Wimbledon Station. The service runs all day until late evening. This is not a free service. There will be a mobility service from Southfields Station.
Following consultation with visitors and in support of our aim of reducing traffic congestion along Wimbledon Park Road to create a more pleasant arrival experience at The Championships, the shuttle bus service from Southfields has been suspended on a trial basis.
The move replicates the walking experience at the London Olympics which proved so popular. Walking times are approximately as follows:
- 5 minutes to the entrance to Wimbledon Park where the Queue is located.
- 15 minutes to the Grounds (Gate 1)
London General also operates a bus service direct from St Pancras, Euston, Baker Street, Marble Arch and Victoria to The Championships, departing every 30 minutes. For enquiries call: 0208 545 6100/6110 or visit http://www.londongeneral.co.uk.
