Property for sale in Wimbledon

Wimbledon is a district of south London and is located in the London Borough of Merton. It is internationally known as the home of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships which brings in huge numbers of tourists every summer and the prominence of the area helps to boost its affluence.

The types of property for sale in Wimbledon are varied, with some even falling into the John Innes Conservation Area in Merton. There is a strong demand for homes in the area, particularly for the larger properties found in Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park. There is now a great mix of grand Victorian properties, modern housing and low rise apartments.

Wimbledon is ideally positioned for convenient access into central London but still enjoys a wide range of recreational facilities and green spaces. With a population of over 68,000 there is a great demand for homes leading to strong levels of property investment in Wimbledon.

Wimbledon itself is split into two areas known as the Village, which is the old High Street area, and the Town which has developed over the years. With the damage to property in Wimbledon that was created by the Second World War many of the large Victorian properties in Wimbledon Park were either sub-divided into apartments or demolished and replaced by apartment blocks. Local authority estates were also constructed around the area to house those who had lost their homes.

Wimbledon is a very well connected area, with Wimbledon Station serving as a junction for services from the District line. It acts a National Rail, London Underground and Tramlink station. There are also Underground stations at Wimbledon Park and South Wimbledon, and the Wimbledon Chase railway station and Raynes Park railway station connect to places such as London Waterloo.
