Property Search - WimbledonWimbledonWimbledon has two distinctive parts – the village and the town. Unlike many other areas where all the green spaces have been filled in around it Wimbledon Common is sufficiently rural and large that there is a real sense of arriving in a distinctive place. Wimbledon looks in on itself rather than being a satellite of central London. Wimbledon village has the same feel as a small Surrey town with pretty houses behind walls and a High Street where one would not be surprised to see people riding horses. The houses are low-built and not in the usual terraces that characterise west London. More than anywhere in South-West London there are lots of large detached houses on separate plots. Down the hill Wimbledon town feels like a town with all the usual high street retail names very much in evidence. The atmosphere is much more urban with a mainline railway station and multiplex cinemas. Prices are generally lower in the town than the village reflecting the snobbery between the two. Unlike Richmond and other areas in South West London Wimbledon is off the flight path into Heathrow. Transport is mixed with bottlenecks around Wandsworth and over the bridges crossing the Thames. It is on the District line of the Underground but many use the mainline stations to access the City. |
