If you are actually planning to go to Wimbledon and check out London at the same time, I found a great website.

This website is an insider’s guide to the exciting city of London.

You can find cheap hotels, attractions, romantic places , restaurants, night places and there is of course a page about Wimbledon too.

If you are not going this year, you can still bookmark the site and check it out next year.
