As the oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam tournament, Wimbledon is about more than just tennis—it’s a celebration of sport, history, and style. Think crisp whites, Royal Box appearances, and, of course, thousands of bowls of strawberries and cream washed down with refreshing glasses of Pimm’s. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the sport, Wimbledon 2025 promises an unforgettable experience.

No Ticket? No Problem – How to Be Part of Wimbledon 2025

If the Wimbledon ballot didn’t swing in your favour this year, don’t worry—Wimbledon remains one of the rare major sporting events where fans can still buy tickets on the day. The legendary Wimbledon Queue is as much a tradition as the tournament itself and offers fans the chance to purchase on-the-day Wimbledon tickets and grounds passes, all while soaking up the electric pre-match atmosphere.

Planning to queue? Make life easy by staying nearby the night before. South Kensington is a smart choice, with direct links via the District Line to Southfields Station, the gateway to the Championships.

For those looking for a luxury hotel near Wimbledon, look no further than The Bentley Hotel. This elegant South Kensington gem offers a tranquil escape from the crowds, with lavish rooms and serene spa treatments—the perfect way to recharge after a day of tennis and sunshine. Explore our rooms and book your Wimbledon Hotel stay here.

Tips for a Winning Day at Wimbledon

If you’re joining the Queue, arrive early—very early—to give yourself the best chance of getting into the grounds or even landing one of the 500 daily show court tickets available for Centre Court, No.1, or No.2 Court. Bring a picnic blanket, some snacks, and your favourite book or card game to pass the time in style. Be prepared to make friendly conversation with fellow tennis fans which is all part of the fun!

Even if you don’t land a show court seat straight away, don’t fret. Grounds passes give you access to a host of outer courts—including Courts 12, 18, and 3—as well as The Hill (also known as Henman Hill or Murray Mound), where you can catch the action on the big screen and maybe even make your own TV appearance!

Bonus Tip: Once inside, keep an eye on the ticket resale kiosks. As ticket holders leave for the day, their unused show court seats are resold at a discount—a brilliant way to snag top Wimbledon seats for less.

More Than Just Tennis

While the tennis is the main event, Wimbledon offers a great day out beyond the matches. Explore fun activities, sip champagne at the Lanson Champagne Bar, pick up an iconic Wimbledon Towel at one of the many Official Wimbledon shops or admire the floral displays that change yearly. Whether you’re following the sport’s rising stars or sipping Pimm’s between sets, there’s something for everyone.

With a stay at The Bentley Hotel, you’ll have the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and proximity to Wimbledon action. After a day of sunshine and serves, retreat to your elegant suite and relive the day’s excitement in total serenity.
