The highlight of the Tour is the visit to Center Court. Additionally you learn a lot of the Champion players and how the entire arena is maintained. A good tour which is for almost close to 2 hours. Advance booking is recommended. With small kids it may be bit difficult because it can disturb the group. So do keep that in mind. Along with guided tour you also get to visit the museum which holds the trophies and video clips etc.<\/p>\n<p>Kushal P, Tripadvisor October 2018<\/p>\n<p>If you are someone who loves sports, sports history, tennis, or just viewing fabulous venues, a visit to the All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon is well worth a visit. For 21 pounds, you have a 90 minute guided tour of the facility by a blue badge guide. I can&#8217;t speak to the size of the groups that tour, but ours was very reasonable&#8211; 13 people. Our guide had wonderful personality and was extremely knowledgeable about tennis generally and of course the facility itself. The entire group had great chemistry and humour, so the tour was a lot of fun. I give our guide full credit for the nice ice breaking she did at the outset, the gentle jokes, and the great affection she obviously has for the place through which she guided us. Although I&#8217;ve never been to the tournament itself, I watch Wimbledon every year on TV and it was marvelous to see the place live without the crowds. It&#8217;s a beautiful facility, and overall my time was very well spent there.The museum itself is worth a visit as well and is included with the tour. It&#8217;s very well done and quite interesting. It won&#8217;t take very long to go through- I spent maybe 30 minutes, though you could spend more time if you&#8217;re into tennis history.Enter the AELTC either by walking toward it from the Southlands underground down Church Street (It&#8217;s actually a nice walk, maybe 15 minutes in length) or just grab a bus headed that way- the bus stop is directly across the road on Church Street. The entrance to the museum and tour is at Gate 4. You&#8217;ll see Gate 2 and 3 first&#8211; keep walking.<\/p>\n<p>chrism623, Tripadvisor October 2018<\/p>\n<p>Read what others have to say about a Wimbledon Tour on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.in\/Attraction_Review-g186338-d548466-Reviews-Wimbledon_Lawn_Tennis_Museum-London_England.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#f16c20\" rel=\"noopener\">TripAdvisor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"wimbledontourtickets10\">Ready For A Wimbledon Tour?<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few other recommended Stadium Tours around London.
