Bernat RàfalesMarch 22, 2014Nice and huge part for a walk. Very muddy though so be equipped if it's rained recently. There's a Windmill Museum and a nice cafe inside for breaksUpvote6Downvote
DHR.comDecember 1, 2011The Wimbledon Common is a great place to escape the city noise and bustle. Here, you'll see a calm and relaxing scenery and a great spot for recreation such as walking, jogging, or cycling.Upvote7Downvote

Lucy HJuly 11, 2015Two areas: wild woodland and open common. I tend to stick to the grassy spaces when I'm by myself. Quiet and rural-feeling.UpvoteDownvote
Chris RogersOctober 29, 2011Parkrun here every Saturday at 9am by the windmill. Free and professionally timed. Usually about 150 people weekly, very friendly!UpvoteDownvote
Louisa EedenSeptember 10, 2011Join the runners every Sat morning at 9am. 5km, great atmosphere, beautiful surroundings. Thanks to the volunteers who make it happen!UpvoteDownvote
Feels too empty and ponds are awful. Get to Kingsmere and Alps in the northern parts as it's where it becomes interesting.UpvoteDownvote- Great place to forget about the city life and all your worries and sorry to say no Wombles live there either.Upvote1Downvote
Micki Binstead-LightJune 19, 2010If you go to Wimbledon Village Fair, don't queue for an age in the main food area. Over the other side of the Common where the horse trials are, my mate Gav has a hogroast stall called Spitfire. YumUpvoteDownvote
Vicky NodenMay 7, 2011If you're here on a bike, make sure you head into the woodland area near Thatched House and the Windmill. Almost forgot i was in a big city!Upvote1Downvote
The pond is a great place to listen - if you have a detector - to bats, you might even see them, needs to be after duskUpvoteDownvote
Janelle WrightApril 10, 2014There's a pond with ducks! Just discovered it after all these years 😊UpvoteDownvote
Robin WongApril 21, 2010park up next to the windmill and have a picnic, it's almost like you're in the countryside except for the sounds of traffic, sirens, and airplanesUpvoteDownvote
Claire KehoeJuly 24, 2011Strawberry smoothies @ The Windmill are packed with flavour - really delicious!UpvoteDownvote
Anne McCrossanNovember 5, 2009Enjoy a mojito at Cannizaro House just off the Common, or lunch if you fancy it, it's a nice place to hang out Read moreUpvoteDownvote
See the Windmill where Lord Baden Powell wrote some of the Cub Scout Movement.UpvoteDownvote
