Wimbledon is played on grass in south-west London, and the 2027 Championships run from Monday 28 June to Sunday 11 July. It is the only one of the four Grand Slams where you can queue and buy a ticket on the day.
The ballot for 2027 has closed. We explain the Queue, resale and hospitality, and have picked three hotels with an easy trip to the courts. Last checked 30 October 2026.
In short: Wimbledon and where to stay
For Wimbledon, the best hotel is Miiro Templeton Garden at Earl's Court. The District line runs from here without a change to Southfields, the closest station to the courts and the Queue. To stay in Wimbledon itself, Antoinette Hotel Wimbledon is a good choice. Without a ballot ticket, the Queue is your surest way in. Book early, as London fills up in July.
Our first choice: Miiro Templeton Garden, for its private garden and the direct train to Southfields.

How to get tickets now the ballot has closed
The Queue
The Queue starts in Wimbledon Park, about five minutes' walk from Southfields. When you join the end, you get a dated, numbered Queue Card. The card is personal, and you cannot hold a place for anyone else.
Each day a limited number of tickets for Centre Court, No.1 Court and No.2 Court are sold from the Queue. After those come Grounds Passes, which give access to the outside courts and The Hill. There are no Centre Court tickets in the Queue for the last four days.
Resale inside the grounds
When spectators leave early, they hand their tickets back. These are sold again from the Ticket Resale point inside the grounds, from three in the afternoon. With a Grounds Pass you can queue there for a seat on one of the big courts for the rest of the day.
Hospitality and debentures
If you want a guaranteed seat, official hospitality and debentures are the safe options. They cost a lot, but give you a fixed seat and often food and drink. Buy only through Wimbledon and approved partners, and be wary of anyone else selling tickets.
The hotels
Miiro Templeton Garden
Miiro is in a Victorian house at Earl's Court, three minutes' walk from the station. Behind the house is a private garden, a rare sight in central London.
From Earl's Court the District line runs to Southfields without a change. Pippin's Restaurant serves British food from breakfast to dinner. Good for a calm base after long days in the stands.

Here you stay in the neighbourhood during the tournament and skip the crowded trains back into town at night. Good if you want to be early in the Queue.

Frequently asked questions about Wimbledon and where to stay
When is Wimbledon 2027?
Wimbledon 2027 runs from Monday 28 June to Sunday 11 July. The ladies' final is on Saturday 10 July and the gentlemen's final on Sunday 11 July. In past years the Queue has opened the day before the tournament starts. Check the dates on wimbledon.com before booking flights and a hotel, and choose free cancellation.
Can you still get tickets for Wimbledon 2027?
Yes. The ballot has closed, but the Queue offers tickets every day of the tournament, both for the big courts and Grounds Passes. Inside the grounds, returned tickets are sold again at Ticket Resale. Official hospitality and debentures guarantee a seat, but cost a lot. Buy only through Wimbledon and approved partners.
How early do you need to join the Queue?
It depends on what you want to see. For a ticket to Centre Court, No.1 Court or No.2 Court you often need to arrive the evening before and sleep in a tent. For a Grounds Pass, arriving early in the morning is usually enough. Follow Wimbledon's own updates on the Queue.
Where should I stay for Wimbledon?
Stay on the District line, which runs to Southfields and Wimbledon. Earl's Court and Gloucester Road give you a central base with a direct or easy connection, while a hotel in Wimbledon lets you walk home. Wimbledon has few hotels and they fill early, so a central hotel is often the better choice.
How do you get to Wimbledon from central London?
Take the District line to Southfields, the closest station to the courts and the Queue. Trains also run from Waterloo to Wimbledon station, which is about a twenty-minute walk away. During the tournament there are buses from the station too. Pay with a contactless card, and expect busy trains after the last match.
