Getting to us by air
We are reasonably accessible from 3 of London’s Airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, and London City. We recommend you avoid using Stansted or Luton airports if you are visiting us.
The easiest way to us from Heathrow is by taxi. This can take anything between 40 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on the traffic. Alternatively, if you prefer to travel by public transport, you have a choice of routes. You can take the Heathrow Express to Paddington, and then either take the District Line to Wimbledon, or the Bakeloo Line to Oxford Circus, Victoria Line to Stockwell, and Northern Line to South Wimbledon. You can also take the London Underground Picadilly Line from Heathrow to Earl’s Court, then the District Line to Wimbledon. The quickest route will depend on which line is suffering from delays on the day you visit us, but if all routes are working, there is little to choose between them, and the journey should be a little over 1 hour.
It is a long way from Gatwick by taxi, and is probably quicker and certainly considerably cheaper to come by train. Take a train from Gatwick to East Croydon (several trains an hour), and then the tram from East Croydon to Morden Road. The total journey should take less than an hour.
It is not wise to attempt the journey from London City Airport by taxi, as it will take you through some of the worst of London’s congested traffic. Instead, take the Docklands Light Railway to Bank, and then the Northern Line to South Wimbledon. The journey should take about 1 hour.
It is a long way from Stansted Airport. The best way is to take the Stansted Express, alighting at Tottenham Hale, then take the Victoria Line to Stockwell and the Northern Line to South Wimbledon. The journey could take up to 2 hours.
From Luton Airport there is a direct but infrequent train service to Wimbledon, which takes about an hour and a half.
