Set over 1,140 acres of open space, there really is something for everyone on the Commons. From tots to teens, groups to grandparents, the Commons provide the perfect spot for everything from a gentle stroll, to a horse ride or a round of golf.
Please note that fires, BBQs or any kind of cooking flame are not permitted on Wimbledon and Putney Commons. For more information, read our FAQ's here.
Important information for dog owners and walkers
Bird nesting season runs from 1 March to 31 August and to help us protect our wildfowl and nesting birds, all visitors with dogs are asked to keep their charges under control and to note that:
PONDS - Please keep dogs on a lead around all of our ponds to protect our wildfowl
THE PLAIN - Please keep dogs on lead, and keep to the mown paths and out of the long grass
Thank you for your co-operation

Places to visit
“I adore walking on Wimbledon Common - as ways of getting fit, I can think of nothing better. Natural beauty surrounds me every time and it can be very meditative. The main paths around the Common are clearly laid out but there is a myriad of smaller walkways to add interest and variety. I recommend it highly!”
