Wimbledon College

Edge Hill, Wimbledon SW19 4NS

Founded in 1892, Wimbledon College is a government-maintained, voluntary-aided, Jesuit Catholic secondary school and sixth form for boys aged 11 to 19.  It is affiliated with the Sacred Heart Church and Donhead Preparatory School, its former feeder preparatory school, and since 1986 it has been working in partnership with its sister school, the Ursuline High School.

Originally located in Cranbrook Road, in the parlour room of the presbytery of a newly established church based there, it subsequently moved firstly to Darleston Road, then to a building adjoining the All England Lawn Tennis Courts before settling on its present site on Edge Hill, adjacent to the Sacred Heart Church.

It now accommodates over 1200 boys covering school Years 7 to 13.

How to get to the venue

Edge Hill is one of several roads running roughly in parallel that link Ridgway with Worple Road.   It relatively flat beginning at the Ridgway end and then drops quite considerably around the boundary between the school and Sacred Heart Church.   Parking is limited as it is a residential road.   Bus route 200 passes along Ridgway (stop is Edge Hill).   Similarly, bus routes 57 & 131 pass along Worple Road (stop is Albert Grove).  Also, bus routes 93 & 493 go via Wimbledon Village but do not go along Ridgway.   All five bus routes go via Wimbledon rail station for the tube (District Line), national rail (South Western Railway in and out of London Waterloo) and trams towards Croydon.  The advised bus from the station is route 200.
