These measures are designed to manage event-related traffic during tennis event days at the All England Lawn Tennis Club whilst providing areas where parking could legitimately take place without unduly impacting on access requirements for local residents, emergency services and visitors.
The measures are intended to improve the safety of visitors and pedestrians by:
- reducing crowding and increasing the standoff distance on each side of the Grounds effectively away from the main gates at peak times.
- restricting vehicular access to these crowded areas during the Championships.
- creating a safer environment which mitigates threats within crowded spaces and is in support of prevailing guidance such as the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) "Crowded Places Guidance".
- diverting unnecessary through traffic from the area during the Championships.
Resident permits
The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) issues permits to residents adjacent to the AELTC. These are different from the temporary parking permits which are explained on the Wimbledon Tennis Championships parking restrictions page.
If you have not received a permit, or you need permits for any last-minute or unexpected guests, please email the name and vehicle registration details to ntm@aeltc.com and AELTC will facilitate their access through the checkpoints.
Bus route 493 diversion
Bus route 493 will be diverted during the event. The TfL website will include information about the diversion.
