• 200° Cinema capturing the Science of Tennis
• Film and video footage of the most memorable and exciting tournament matches
• An unsurpassed collection of tennis memorabilia dating back to 1555
Treasures from the first Championship to the most recent are on display, including equipment, apparel, mementos, and souvenirs belonging to the greatest players to set foot on Centre Court.
Visitors may also take a tour of the grounds, led by specially trained Blue Badge Guides, and gain access to restricted areas normally closed to the public.

• No. 1 Court
• The Water Gardens
