Host to the annual Wimbledon Tennis Championship, the borough attracts visitors from across the globe and each year it truly comes to life in homage to this centuries old British eventing icon.

David Galman, Sales Director at Galliard Homes comments: “Wimbledon Grounds is one of our most exciting projects, a landmark mixed-use development that’s playing a major role in the regeneration of the local area and town centre. As a result we’re very excited to be launching this first sales weekend, and to be able to welcome buyers and potential residents in person. Though social distancing and safety concerns are still of the highest priority, hopefully this will be a sign of things to come and a step towards being able to welcome fans to the stadium and seeing the development fully come to life.

In addition to our range of offers at Wimbledon Grounds, we are delighted to provide a comprehensive furniture package with every home, including key furniture items, soft furnishings and even kitchen utensils – even down to a bamboo toothbrush!”
