Part of the neighbourhood best known for being the world capital of tennis, South Wimbledon was originally known as New Wimbledon and forms the (duh!) southern part of the town. South Wimbledon is bordered by Wimbledon town centre, Morden, Merton Park, Wimbledon Chase and Colliers Wood. South Wimbledon is a great place to live, but slightly less less busy than its northern neighbour. This makes it more reasonably priced, safer and more community-driven than tourist-catering. Most of South Wimbledon sits in the SW19 postcode.

Houses to Rent in South Wimbledon

South Wimbledon is growing in popularity as a neighbourhood to rent a house, particularly with the American community as the American Embassy has moved just a couple of tube stops away to Vauxhall.

These are usually on long-term rental contracts rather than short-term simply because short-term rents are more popular with tennis fans who need somewhere a little closer to the courts.
