Each year thousands and thousands of people descend upon Wimbledon for the tennis. Very soon SW19 will be buzzing with tennis enthusiasts from all over the world, as well as the world's media plus the players themselves.
Wimbledon is indeed a truly exceptional competition and arguably the most anticipated on the calendar and not just by the players but the local area as well because SW19 residents get the chance to make a small fortune from letting their flat or home to players together with their entourages.
In Wimbledon there is not a massive choice of hotels but usually players don't like to stay too far from where they're playing. To stay in North London could require them to make a fairly lengthy and painful journey which may have an effect on their performance.
For a professional tennis player staying close to where they're competing is very important but for the top players, proximity is only the beginning. They'll generally attempt to balance comfort with location. Leading players will also have their coaches with them, their agent, physiotherapists, plus a whole entourage of others.
The most popular location to rent property in Wimbledon over the years has been between the All England Club and Wimbledon Village which is a ten to fifteen minute walk. The location may be quite small but generally there is a lot of choice.
The chances of Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer knocking on your own front door are pretty slim since the elite players have people to deal with specialists in local housing. You're much more likely to encounter a tennis fan searching for less costly lodging, or perhaps a family who are over for a few days to enjoy the tennis.
If indeed you are contemplating trying to rent out your property for the competition there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The first is that you need to ensure your Wimbledon flat or apartment or house is clean as a whistle. If it is intensely decorated it is advisable to temporarily follow a minimalist style while you have guests.
The following thing you should do is make contact with local estate agents and tell them about the circumstances simply because they may be able to refer people to your property, but be warned since the agents will require a small fee for this.
