Thanks for all the tips folks - I've booked into a nice hotel for next week and then will look at maybe renting a flat for the next 3 months

Start in Wimbledon on Monday - no, I'm not a ball girl on centre court .
But I would appreciate any insights into finding accommodation, and what areas to avoid etc..

Cheers

If you're going to be renting, Earlsfield is one stop on the train, about 3 miles away and offers (IMO) the best balance of a nice area with cheaper rent. A few nice pubs and restaurnats, but you'll probably save £200 pcm on a flat.

Wimbledon village is going to be very expensive. Winbledon itself is very nice, Colliers Wood, Tooting etc is a dump!

If you mean hotels, there are a couple just in Colliers Wood. The area is ok and close to wimbledon (and cheaper than Wimbledon).

p.s. is that the company that is IBM partner right close to the Wimbledon Station? I can't think of many other companies there

rubbish in comparison to Wimbledon proper

http://www.cannizarohouse.com/index.php - exceptionally expensive

This used to be a tulip hole, but it may have improved:

If you don't mind a walk / getting on the bus there's a Holiday Inn Express outside Colliers Wood tube.

Rooms by the hour?
