Wimbledon Park
Merton, London
PocketsWimbledon Park & Durnsford Road (north-west · Arthur Road · Wimbledon Park Lake · Durnsford Road · Durnsford Road flyover · River Wandle)Wimbledon Broadway North (Gap Road · Gap Road Cemetery)
Wimbledon Park sits between Wimbledon town centre and Southfields, with the lake, the adjacent All England Club and the open green at its heart. The listed-building stock is small — the Grade II Church of St Luke, Grade II 61 Arthur Road and Grade II butcher's shop at 157 — and about a quarter of the ward sits inside a conservation area. Green space is 19 hectares led by Wimbledon Park's 8.4. Schools are strong with thirty-two outstanding nearby, safety sits comfortably above the median, and non-food venues run to 90. Public-transport access is moderate at 3 via Wimbledon Park on the District line. New housing delivery is one of the stronger scores on this list. The drawbacks are narrow: market affordability is tight, heritage scores low, and culture is modest for the area's reputation.

Wimbledon Park, quick answers
- Is Wimbledon Park safe?
- Wimbledon Park scores 72 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — one of London's safer wards on this measure. The score weighs personal safety, property crime and anti-social behaviour separately rather than ranking on one raw total, so the mix of crime matters as well as the volume.
- Is Wimbledon Park a good place to live?
- Wimbledon Park scores 43 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are safety (72) and air & quiet (60); its weakest is heritage (14). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.
- How well connected is Wimbledon Park?
- Moderate public-transport access: Transport for London rates the typical spot in Wimbledon Park 3 on its 0–8 public-transport access scale, which puts the ward at 40 for connectivity relative to the rest of London.
- Is Wimbledon Park expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Wimbledon Park is among London's pricier areas: its purchase-affordability score is 4/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
- What are the schools like near Wimbledon Park?
