Wimbledon is a suburb of London, part of the London Borough of Merton and located seven miles (11.3 km) south west of Charing Cross. For most of the past one hundred years, Wimbledon has been best known as the home of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. The original meaning of the name is uncertain. The current spelling appears to have been settled on relatively recently in the early 19th century, the last in a long line of variations. The village is referred to as "Wimbedounyng" in a charter signed by King Edgar the Peaceful in 967 and is shown on J Cary's 1786 map of the London area as "Wimbleton".

As it was in the 16th and 17th century, Wimbledon's attraction remains its combination of convenient access to central London with the benefit of plentiful recreational facilities. Strong demand for homes, especially the larger properties in the Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Park areas, has seen prices increase to amongst the highest in the outer London area.

Wimbledon Village provides a good collection of quality bistros, restaurants and pubs and during the fortnight of the tennis championship the streets are crowded with visitors enjoying the facilities. The newly reopened New Wimbledon Theatre on the Broadway is also extremely popular throughout London, bringing in a large majority of West End productions.

Although now best known as the home of tennis, this was not the first sport to bring Wimbledon national fame. In the 1870s, at the bottom of the hill on land between the railway line and Worple Road, the All-England Croquet Club had begun to hold its annual championships. But the popularity of croquet was waning as the new sport of lawn tennis began to spread and after initially setting aside just one of its lawns for tennis, the club decided to hold its first Lawn Tennis Championship in July 1877. By 1922, the popularity of tennis had grown to the extent that the club's small ground could no longer cope with the numbers of spectators and the renamed All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club moved to new grounds close to Wimbledon Park. Wimbledon historian Richard Milward recounts how King George V opened the new courts. "He gave three blows on a gong, the tarpaulins were removed, the first match started - and the rain came down..." The club's old grounds continue to be used as the sports ground for Wimbledon High School.

Wimbledon has also been known for another brief period of sporting fame. From a small, long-established non-league team, Wimbledon Football Club had, starting in 1977, climbed quickly through the ranks of the football league structure, reaching the highest league in 1986 and winning the FA Cup against Liverpool in 1988. However, the close proximity of other more established teams such as Chelsea and Fulham and its small ground, meant that the club was never able to develop its fan base to the size needed to maintain a top flight team. In 2000 the team was demoted from the top division of English football after 14 years - the start of a rapid decline. Having already played their matches outside their home territory at neighbouring Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park since 1991 when the Plough Lane ground was closed for safety reasons, an FA commission allowed the owners to move the club 70 miles north to Milton Keynes in 2003, despite fan protests. The team now plays under the name Milton Keynes Dons F.C. and has cut any connections to Wimbledon.

As soon as The Football Association approved this move in May 2002, former Wimbledon FC supporters founded the semi-professional AFC Wimbledon, and WFC's support overwhelmingly shifted to AFCW, who in their second and third seasons earned successive promotions to the First and Premier Divisions of the Isthmian League. The club also won the Combined Counties League Premier Challenge Cup in 2004 and the Surrey Senior Cup in 2005 to complete consecutive league and cup doubles.

In the world of literature, Wimbledon provides the principal setting for several comic novels by author Nigel Williams (including the best-selling The Wimbledon Poisoner and They Came from SW19) as well as for Elisabeth Beresford's series of children's stories about the Wombles. Wimbledon was also the site where the sixth Martian invasion cylinder landed in H.G. Wells' book The War of the Worlds and is mentioned briefly in his books, The Time Machine and When the Sleeper Wakes.
