Places to stay for the Wimbledon Championships 2023
Ball boys are limbering up, players are nervously adjusting the tension in their racquet strings, and pristine tennis whites are being fastidiously pressed – because Wimbledon Tennis Championships are back with a bang for 2023!
Whether you’re planning on front row seats to all the live courtside action, or settling in amongst the throngs watching on big screen TV from Henman’s Hill, or even viewing from the comfort of one of our buzzing pubs, you’ll certainly need somewhere comfortable to lay your head at the end of an exciting day.
Wimbledon Pubs & Hotels
Many tennis fans prefer to be at the very heart of all the championship action, plumping to stay at one of our iconic Wimbledon pubs & hotels; such as the characterful Rose & Crown, or the delightfully modern Dog & Fox. However, if you fancy overnighting at a pub that is less centre court and slightly more on the sidelines, then we are serving up our top picks for the best places to stay outside of Wimbledon. So, don’t get your plans in a backspin, these hotel havens are perfect for transforming a fleeting visit into a relaxing tennis focussed staycation.
Just a swift 15 minute sprint on the overground from Wimbledon to Wandsworth Town transports you to a trio of terrific hotel choices.
The Alma
The first is easy to spot, as you can see her in all her glory from the second your train pulls into the platform. The Alma is resplendent in her heritage green tiles, and a welcome landmark to any weary traveler. What this pub does well, is balance the hustle and bustle of life into their traditional pub space; from the daily commuter after their post work pint, the occasional rabble of thirsty sports fans, and the ever-hungry diners. The Alma comes alive with a broad ranging crowd and it’s a privilege to sit amongst them and soak up the post tennis atmosphere. When evening falls and the bell rings, the night turns calm and still, setting you up for a good night’s kip.
