Tired of the tennis?

If you're already tired of the tennis, or you're wondering what to do for the other 50 weeks of the year, then Wimbledon has a lot to offer. Home to the likes of Sandra Bullock, Martin Clunes and Pete Tong, there's more to the leafy suburb than just strawberries and cream and Henman Hill...

Wimbledon Common
Famous for its windmill and Wombles, the common offers a wide range of activities as well as beautiful surroundings, perfect for a relaxing walk or picnic. If you are looking for a bit of adventure then jump on a horse and canter around the 16 miles of bridal ways. A number of stables are located on the common, which caters to all levels of experience.

If you are after a little intellectual inspiration then try the nature trail or wander into the Windmill Museum. With more than 1,000 acres to explore there is plenty to keep you busy. Visit www.wpcc.org.uk to find out what other activities are available on the common.

Wimbledon Stadium
Enjoy the thrill of the chase at Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday night. The stadium offers a variety of packages and prices to fit any budget, including the Punters Pack where you get admission, racecard, betting vouchers and two free drinks all for a fiver.

At these prices you are bound to break even or could even go home richer. The Star Attraction restaurant lets you dine in style and more importantly has the best view of all the action from the track. For some high-octane entertainment visit the stadium on Wednesdays and Sundays to experience the thrill of Speedway as you watch the brakeless bikes race around the track four times in less than a minute.
