Visit Wimbledon The BID

Greener and More Sustainable

From planting to urban farming and sustainable events, creating community while minimising the impact on the environment is key.

Sustainable September - Returning for 2024!

After last year’s successful Sustainable September we are again collaborating with Wimbledon Quarter, Sustainable Merton and Go Inspire to bring you a range of refreshing sustainable events and activities including fashion shows, talks, repair pop-ups and the incredibly popular Sustainable Market on The Piazza.  More to come soon!

Doing the Right Thing

We would like to see more greenery in Wimbledon Town Centre, less traffic and improved air-quality. We offer our businesses green energy and affordable recycling services and a number of years ago introduced a ban on single-use plastic in our markets. We look at ways to help visitors make greener choices, through transport, through refilling their bottles or improved waste collection. We’ve started this journey and will keep visitors and businesses informed as we go greener.

Spreading Awareness

As we start the sustainability journey, it is about sharing learnings, promoting good practice and trying something new. That’s when different businesses like Wimbledon Quarter really come into play, with their Rooftop Urban Farm (think mushrooms and honey) or the new green roof at the Travelodge Hotel.
