Map & location
Overview
SW19 8UG falls within the Wimbledon Park ward of the London Borough of Merton, tucked between the open greenery of Wimbledon Park itself and the busy High Street of Wimbledon town centre.

Local shopping, cafés and restaurants along Wimbledon's main retail corridor are within easy reach, while good transport connections make central London accessible in under 30 minutes.
