| Of
all the Season’s events, Wimbledon is probably the most
popular with a world wide audience. Thanks to television, the
first coverage was in 1937, millions of people all over the world
now follow the drama on court during the last week of June and
the first week of July. To arrive at the gates in your luxury
chauffeur driven S Class Mercedes Viano or other luxury saloon
is just the beginning of an exciting day out. The buzz of the
public areas are just a foretaste of the excitement of the games
on court and the roar of the crowd on Centre Court at Match Point
is an experience never to be forgotten.
Dating back to 1877 the Championships were started by the All
England Tennis and Croquet Club with just one event the Men’s
Singles. Today there are five main events: the Men’s and
Women’s Singles and Doubles and the Mixed Doubles. Like
other events in the London Social Calendar members of the Royal
Family often attend with the Duke or Duchess of Kent usually making
the presentations to the winners at the end of the Championships.
Apart from the stall selling the obligatory strawberries and cream,
a superb picnic hamper with all the trimmings can be part of the
package combing luxury travel and great food and wine with freedom
and convenience. If the tennis and the crowds become too much
then pop into the brand new Lawn Tennis Museum which is open throughout
the championships, except for the middle Sunday it’s well
worth a visit.
Although close to central London, travel by luxury car and chauffeur
is an essential as the whole event is very popular with fans,
tourists and locals alike. If you are taking a party to the championships
consider an S Class Mercedes Viano or a Lexus or Mercedes saloon
for smaller parties. In the hands of one of our experienced chauffeurs
it will make the day a very special one for you
