Proud to be the heart of Merton – the 6th greenest borough in this great city – we still think there is more to be done. Working with Sustainable Merton and Surfers Against Sewage we dream of making Wimbledon plastic free. It’s a tall order, but with national pressure from government and local persuasion we know our businesses are open to change and customers can do their bit too!
NEW THIS YEAR!..
We’re proud to announce that our Wimbledon Market on The Piazza is now SINGLE – USE PLASTIC FREE. Enjoy shopping at our monthly market from stallholders who are doing their bit for our environment. Taking place every first weekend of the month, read more about our market here.
REFILLING AND REDUCING…
The Refill Campaign, a national scheme by the water industry @WaterUK, will allow people to refill water bottles for FREE to cut plastic bottle use by tens of millions each year. The goal is to have a national network of high street retailers, coffee shops, businesses and local authorities offering new refill points in England by 2021. Wimbledon businesses are getting behind the campaign with The Alexandra Pub, The Prince of Wales and The Garratt and Gauge all having recently signed up to the app – Join the refill revolution, carry your reusable bottle and encourage more businesses to offer free water refills.
In an effort to reduce single-use plastic, we have a new ‘Wimbledon Market Bag’ made with sustainable fabric. Spend £20 or over at a stall at one of our monthly markets and receive your FREE market bag.
