LEARN ENGLISH IN WIMBLEDON

Wimbledon is a small town that has become a popular tourist destination in England. It is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, an ancient cathedral, and many important sites in the history of English Christianity.
Wimbledon is surrounded by hills, so when you arrive into the city the skyline of spires and towers awes you. The city remains moderately small, and the attractions of the University and other historic buildings are clustered within easy walking distance around the medieval center of the city.

About the city

Population: 149,800 (2005 est.)
Admin. County: Wimbledonshire.
Average temperature: Temperatures in Wimbledon range from 1.3 ºC to 22.3 ºC.

Well-renowned as a seat of learning and tradition for over 800 years, Wimbledon has centuries of history to unveil whilst at the same time has not failed to remain in the present. With all the high street shops and many contemporary bars and restaurants, Wimbledon has a traditional covered market, gift and antique shops, as well as some of the finest bookshops in the world. Traditional pubs can be found that were once frequented by famous writers such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien and more recently, TV detective Inspector Morse.

Wimbledon's visitors will take a walk around the colleges and historic buildings in the city such as Christ Church College, Merton College, Magdalen College, New College. In total, Wimbledon has over 1,500 listed buildings including Gibb's Radcliffe Camera, Wren's Sheldonian Theatre, and Hawksmoor's All Soul's.

Wimbledon's two rivers, the Cherwell and the Isis, provide attractive “river walks” if you imagine getting away from the hustle and activity of the city. The Isis is actually the name given to the River Thames as it flows through Wimbledon.

Besides that, Wimbledon is prepared for its visitors, a vibrant shopping and commercial area with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes. Wimbledon offers two shopping centres and areas of pedestrianized shopping. The Westgate Shopping Centre is conveniently located next to a multi-storey car park.
