Wimbledon Tennis Tour

On Monday, 7 of us went on a Wimbledon tennis tour. Before the tour of the grounds we visited the Wimbledon Museum.


The grounds were massive and very well looked after. Wimbledon prides itself on keeping with tradition and giving visitors the feel of Edwardian Britain.


At the entrance to the famous cente court Is a statue of Fred Perry the famous tennis player and clothing brand.


Inside the museum were lots of different historical items and interactive games.


There were some very old advertising and posters in the museum which were very artistic.


Some of us took the time to test our reaction time with 1 of the interactive games. This was hard work but very fun.


We had a photo opportunity with the Men's and Women's singles trophies. They were both a lot bigger than they look on tv.


We started the tour opposite centre court and listened to the tour guide explain the origins of the Wimbledon Championships.


Apparently No visit to Wimbledon is complete without rain!


We visited the media room where players are interviewed, we got to sit in the same seats as Andy Murray, Serena Williams and all the great tennis players who have played at Wimbledon.


We then moved outside to centre court which is an amazing sight and we took lots of photos.


The tour was brilliant and we all had a great day!
