The Museum of Wimbledon is a local history museum in southwest London dedicated to preserving and interpreting the story of Wimbledon and the wider Merton area. Its collections of photographs, documents, objects and oral histories trace the transformation of the village, common land and suburban neighbourhoods, and reflect social, cultural and industrial change over time. Exhibits examine themes from everyday life and local governance to the international cultural resonance of lawn tennis, with contextual connections to the nearby All England Lawn Tennis Club and community sporting traditions. The museum works with volunteers, local historians and schools to develop research, temporary displays and community-curated projects, supporting heritage learning and scholarship. Emphasising accessibility and inclusion, its displays and services are designed to serve diverse audiences while conserving artefacts for future generations.
