Pleasing 2bed flat 10min to Wimbledon tennis court
First Impressions
When I first arrived at Pleasing 2bed flat 10min to Wimbledon tennis court, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This unique boutique hotel without official star rating sits on Wimbledon Park Road in Wandsworth, and it’s exactly what it says on the tin: a well-appointed apartment that’s genuinely close to the tennis grounds. The building itself is typical South London Victorian conversion territory, nothing fancy from the outside, but that’s sort of the charm.
Location & Getting Around
You know what struck me most? The location actually delivers on that “10 minutes to Wimbledon” promise. I mean, if you’re here during tournament season, you can practically walk to the All England Club without breaking a sweat. The Southfields tube station is about a 12-minute walk, which puts you on the District line straight into central London. Honestly, for a residential area, it’s surprisingly well connected — there’s a decent bus route too if the weather turns.
The Space Itself
Inside, the two-bedroom setup works really well for families or friends traveling together. The main room has this lived-in feel that’s way more comfortable than your typical hotel space. There’s a proper kitchen with everything you’d actually need — not just a kettle and some sad instant coffee, but real cooking facilities. I appreciated having a full-sized fridge, which is brilliant when you’re staying more than a couple of nights and want to grab groceries from the local Sainsbury’s.
What Makes It Work
The thing about staying here is that it feels like borrowing a friend’s flat rather than checking into a hotel. The furnishing is comfortable without trying too hard — think IKEA meets someone with decent taste. The beds are actually good (I’m picky about mattresses), and there’s enough storage space that you’re not living out of your suitcase. The Wi-Fi is solid, which matters if you’re working remotely or just need to stream something after a long day of sightseeing.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is the value proposition for the area. Wandsworth isn’t cheap, but you’re getting proper London living space at a fraction of what you’d pay for two hotel rooms in Zone 2. The host clearly knows what travelers need — there are actually enough towels, the shower has decent pressure, and little touches like proper blackout curtains make a difference. Plus, if you’re here for Wimbledon, you’ll save a fortune on transport and probably get better sleep than staying in some overpriced hotel in the thick of things.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
