What it's famous for
Wimbledon is internationally famous for the Wimbledon Championships, the world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament, held annually at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. The Abbey ward name is a nod to the historic Merton Priory, an Augustinian abbey founded in the 12th century, whose remains can still be explored at the nearby Merton Priory Chapter House and Deen City Farm. The wider area is also associated with Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived nearby at Merton Place, and with the early environmental movement through William Morris's connections to the Wandle Valley.
