If you are travelling to and from The Championships, Tube services will not run from Southfields, Wimbledon or any other nearby stations from early evening on Wednesday 8 July, and all day on Thursday 9 July.
The Championships remain accessible by bus, National Rail and tram at Wimbledon station, however these services will be busier as a result of customers using alternative routes.

- South West train services into central London, calling at Clapham Junction, Vauxhall and Waterloo
- Thameslink services will be running to stations in south, central and north London, including Elephant & Castle, Blackfriars, Farringdon, King's Cross St. Pancras, Kentish Town and West Hampstead
- Local buses routes to District line station including the 493 to Richmond or 93 to Putney Bridge, both these routes serve Southfields
Alternatively, taxi-sharing will be available between Wimbledon station and Wimbledon Tennis Championships, and from Wimbledon Tennis Championships to central London.
