South Wimbledon

South Wimbledon is a Northern line station in Zone 3, one stop north of Morden (the line's southern terminus). The area is primarily residential and the station serves as a commuter stop for south-west London workers heading into central London on the Northern line. Wimbledon town centre and the All England Tennis Club are accessible by bus from the station, though Wimbledon station itself (District line and National Rail) gives better direct access to the town and the tennis venue.
