2010 Wimbledon Tennis Championships

The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) consulted the local community in August and September 2010 about our plans for Wimbledon before a planning application was submitted to the London Borough of Merton. Although our formal period of pre-planning application consultation has now ended, we still welcome your feedback on our proposals.

See the exhibition boards that explain our proposals.

A message from Seb Coe

‘Wimbledon is an exciting and important venue for the Games. It is a world-class venue which will provide a spectacular setting for athletes and spectators alike.'

Wimbledon at Games time

The Tennis events are expected to run from 28 July to 5 August 2012, with up to 26,000 spectators attending each day.

There will be nine days of competition, including men’s and women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. There are five gold medals to be won.

Planning consent is required to install the temporary facilities needed to stage the Games at Wimbledon. After the Games, all temporary facilities will be removed.
