The Museum of Wimbledon is a museum at 22 Ridgway, Wimbledon, in the London Borough of Merton.

It is run by The Wimbledon Society, staffed by volunteers and open at the weekends from 2:30 to 5:00pm. Admission is free.[1][2]

The emphasis is on local history. The Wimbledon Society also runs the adjacent Village Hall Trust Gallery, which is used for photographic and other exhibitions, such as "Wimbledon Now and Then", which ran from December 2013 to March 2014.[3][4]
