Anyone know any good accomadation for Wimbledon? Is Heathrow the nearest airport?

Heathrow is the nearest airport. This will be the 5th year that The Boss and I have won tickets in the ballot and we always stay in one of the Travelodges near Kings Cross Station. It's a fair way out from Wimbledon but it's easy to get there. I know there's one in Wimbledon but i've never stayed there.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at Colliers Wood the last couple of years. It's a nice, clean hotel with big rooms and a good breakfast. Buses to the tennis run outside and are very frequent. Think we paid around £100 per night.

I live in Wimbledon and logistically Gatwick is easier than Heathrow.

Heathrow: Picadilly Line to Earls Court - District Line to Wimbledon - 1hr
Gatwick: Train to Clapham Junction - Clapham to Wimbledon - 40min max

There are shuttle buses from the station to the tennis and its also walkable in 20mins.

Accomodation - Wimbledon was booked up months ago, go for central London with access to Waterloo. Its 20min by train to Wimbledon.

Good luck & bring a brolly

While on the subject of wimbledon..... My partner usually go's up every year, but because I started a new job this year was out of the question.
He won tickets from the ballot, but offered them another club member....While searching through Ebay I found loads of tickets for sale ??
I thought this was not allowed ?
I have emailed the LTA , still waiting for answer ?
I could of made a fortune
just want to know what to do next year....

Tickets won in the ballot are not allowed to be sold - only debentures can be sold. I know Wimbledon organisers employ people to go through all ebay etc auctions to weed them out. I'm sure a year or two ago they published details of that on their website but I can't find it now.
