Commemorative Benches

Donate a bench in tribute to someone who loved the Commons or in celebration of the memories you've made here.

Each commemorative bench here has a story behind it, and it is a privilege to work with each family. Benches that are donated to Wimbledon and Putney Commons also support the charity that manages this special place, by helping to raise funds for maintaining and improving the landscape and facilities.

As so many memories are made here, we receive more enquiries for commemorative benches on the Commons than we have space for – particularly in areas such as around the Windmill and Rushmere.

With limited capacity, we operate a waiting list. If you’d like to be added, please complete the form below. When an opportunity arises we shall be in touch with more information. Please note we have a constantly high demand for commemorative benches dealt and we are working our way through a lengthy waiting list which means you may not hear from us for several weeks. We thank you for your patience

All positions around Queensmere pond are now reserved. 

You can also make a donation in memory of someone who loved the Commons by clicking the link below. Let us know in the ‘Reason’ section that its in memory of someone and we can send you a personalised certificate.
