Every once in a while I experience a must-do life experience, only to come to find out, it's not in the book! And yet, it absolutely should be! Well, technically Wimbledon is in the book, listed on pg 22 as an event to do in London. But Wimbledon is not a side note. Wimbledon deserves it's own, stand alone post!
June 30, 2022
Ready to watch some world-class matches!
Simone Halep, a 2-time Grand Slam winner.
Nadal! A 22-time Grand Slam Champion.
Make sure to squeeze in some time for Wimbledon's famous fresh strawberries and cream.
And if you experience a rain delay, soak in the rainbow...
And then head indoors to peruse the museum and check out the actual trophies!
Make sure to check out the board that is updated manually throughout the day.
And go on a shopping spree to pick up some cool Wimbledon merchandise!
Then make your way to Centre Court.
And check out the Royal Box.
And say goodnight to Wimbledon after soaking it in for 12 solid hours.
Verdict: Yes! Even if you're not a tennis aficionado, this is still worth doing. It's just so cool and so much fun to be in the atmosphere of it all. I'm not a tennis-lover myself, but I'm married to one. So being there with a tennis lover definitely adds to the fun and excitement of it all. So try to at least go with someone who appreciates where they are and sweeps you up into their appreciation and excitement!
Cost: The cost is not the issue. Tickets are very reasonable - they vary depending on what day you go, what court, etc. But I think we paid maybe 60pounds/ticket or something along those lines. The issue is in getting the tickets. You have to enter a lottery and hope your name gets drawn. So enter that lottery every year until you get to experience this must-do event!
