Overall Rating
Excellent
I am fortunate it would seem to get tickets every year either for Centre Court or Court 1 from the ballot. I have enjoyed the last 20 years of Wimbledon and washed as their accessible facilities go from strength to strength - probably a bi product of the success of wheelchair tennis. If you have never been but want to go, do not worry about access but do think about getting around i.e, up the hill!
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
The tennis club is on a hill, a steep hill but there is ramped access and even staff wo have volunteered to push me. Even Henman Hill/Murray Mount has a ramp access and a central area designated for wheelchair users.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
I have rebooked AA parking opposite in the golf course which as long as it is dry works well. This year we opted to get the train and walk (push) from Wimbledon stn to the tennis. There is a mahoooosive hill, not for the light hearted. I had my Tr-ride
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
Loads everywhere. From centre court I was 20f away and even had a chaperone when I wanted to use the accessible wc who came with me to unlock it with a radar key.
Staff
Excellent
Nothing is too much effort
