About

Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum provides a remarkable multi-dimensional tour of the traditions, triumphs, sights and sounds that have made Wimbledon the most coveted title in tennis.

Visitors explore the game’s evolution from a garden party pastime to a multi-million dollar professional sport played world-wide: with interactives, touch screens, and audio guides (available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Mandarin), people of all ages can experience the artistry and athleticism of modern tennis.

Highlights include:

• The Championship Trophies

• A “ghost” of John McEnroe which speaks about the game and his well-known opponents in the very dressing room he once used

• 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.

Included are:

• No. 1 Court

• The Water Gardens

• The Millennium Building

• The Press Interview Room

• The BBC Television Studio (or Centre Court if building work permits)

• Entrance to the Museum

Tours for individuals run daily except for a period around The Championships.

Group tours are available in a variety of languages.
