Wimbledon Quarter — Attraction in London

I've been shopping here for years. It's convenient, located right behind a bus stop and beside a train station. There's a fair variety of shops here; you can find stationery supplies, medicine, cosmetics, clothes, shoes, kitchenware, cards for all occasions, party supplies, and some furniture. You can also find a Halifax in here; it has cash machines if you need to get some out.

There's an abundance of places to eat; the top floor has McDonald's with copious seating, which is also where you'll find the bathrooms. The top floor in Debenhams has a café, and on the ground floor between the escalators is an open-plan café with some great pastries. There's a Costa on the first floor, which is often full. A Tesco is also on the ground floor, with ramps as well as stairs.

There always seems to be a couple of shops closing down in recent years. At least one remains unfilled

There are always pop-up stands in the centre of the ground floor. Presently you can find a Krispy Kreme stand, which looks like one of their boxes. Pretty convenient since Krispy Kremes are fairly sparse.

Update: Much has changed. Many of the above shops are gone; they've yet to replace Debenhams (my mum's very sad about this haha) and much of the space is taken by Third Space, an incredibly expensive wellness centre. The café in there is quite nice though — healthy options with clear nutritional info.

The climbing wall space is almost always full so it's hard to enjoy.

Downstairs also feels sparse still. The entire back section is just benches and occasionally a...

A good range of shops and nice centre from what I saw but food court is closed. Lost stars due to rude security man who started telling me how to discipline my son!! My son is 4 and picked up a phone case because he thought it "looked like a robot" to show me. I agreed and my son went to put it back...then miserable old security man appeared from behind us and started shouting "tell him to put it back! Tell him to put it back!" and launched into an aggressive lecture to us about how I "should be controlling my child and telling him to behave". Wow. I calmly put him straight regarding his unwanted input into my parenting skills, as my son was quite upset...and he then carried on telling me it's my "responsibility to show him how to grow" etc etc etc. At which I put him straight again, less calmly than before, and pointed out that my son was not doing anything different to an adult who would pick it up to look at it. I asked him if his temper is towards all potential customers or if he saves it for children? I also genuinely believe that if I'd been a male, or with a male, Mr Security Guard wouldn't have had so much to say to us! Completely put me off ever going back, but if anyone wants some aggressive outdated parenting advice from a random miserable old man, then this is your place! I suggest if you don't want anybody touching anything then put it behind screens, not in the middle of the centre with everyone's hands brushing...

It's changed since we lived in nearby Putney six years ago. It's changed alot, it's been renovated and modernised. It feels more spacious, lighter and brighter but due, in the main to the economy I would think the number of shops have been significantly reduced & so many have gone in what is relatively a short period of time. I do like the new centre, it feels clean and it looks smart.

Obviously the likes of Debenhams, & Paperchase have gone, amongst others, but so have the central food stores and the cafe that used to be on the ground floor by the entrance to Debenhams; I guess when Debenhams closed the cafe was no longer busy. The fast-food area on the top floor has gone and changed, and like the centre as a whole it has a more leisure-based feel to it now. There's a large luxury gym, a climbing wall plus the old fast-food area is now an indoor golf ⛳️ attraction.

The old stalwarts H & M, M & S food, Boots & Costa remain plus the Tesco Express at the entrance.

So Centre Court is now the Wimbledon Quarter. It could do with a few more shops, hopefully they'll come with time. Is it better? I'm not sure. It's definitely different and has had to change and to evolve, which it's done a pretty good job of doing.
