Wimbledon Museum & Private Tour

The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum runs a 90-minute guided tour of the All England Club on non-match days. You get Centre Court, the royal box, the gentlemen's dressing room, the trophy room, and the Millennium Building that players use during the Championships. None of it is accessible on a match day without debenture seats.

Standard tours run daily outside the Championships (April to September, 10am to 5:30pm) and cost £32 for adults, led by a Blue Badge Guide in a group of up to 20. Private tours are available with a dedicated guide and completely flexible pacing.

That pacing is what makes the private version worth it. A standard group moves at a speed that accommodates 20 strangers with different levels of interest. Private means you spend as long as you want in the dressing room, or skip the museum sections entirely and go straight to Centre Court.

Centre Court empty is a different place from the one on television. Quieter, obviously. But the scale surprises people who've only seen it through a camera — you're much closer to the baseline from the royal box than any broadcast angle suggests. The chair umpire's seat, unmanned and covered in the off-season, is oddly compelling to stand next to.

The trophy room has both the singles trophies. They're smaller than most people expect.

The museum itself covers 130 years of the tournament and includes the CentreCourt 360 display, the Championship Trophies exhibition, and the press interview room. The Millennium Building — the glass-fronted structure that appears in every player arrival shot — is included in the tour and is otherwise closed to the public.

The Championships run 29 June to 12 July 2026. Tours of Centre Court are not available during the fortnight. The last available date before the grounds go into tournament preparation is typically mid-June; tours resume in late July.
