How the day runs
To All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club for Wimbledon, the car takes the A3216 and A3205. Drop-off follows the organisers' rules: church Road is partly closed. Ride-share cars cannot pass the closure and must use drop-off areas on Marryat Road and Wimbledon Park Road. Registered debenture holders can request a pass for private chauffeur drop-off/pick-up in Car Park 5. Blue Badge drop-off is opposite Gate 13, Somerset Road. Through the day the chauffeur waits nearby and comes back when you message. Coming back to the hotel takes about 25 minutes, plus the time the car parks need to clear. The events are independent of Ravensley: book your tickets with them, and the car with us.
