Wimbledon station is a National Rail , London Underground , and Tramlink station located in Wimbledon in the London Borough Of Merton . The station is currently served by the London Underground District Line and National Rail operators South West Trains , First Capital Connect , Southern and also Tramlink Route 1. The station is in Travelcard Zone 3 . Adjacent to the station is Wimbledon's Centre Court Shopping Centre.

There used to be a railway line from Wimbledon to West Croydon ; this line is now used by Tramlink . In the past this station was also able to provide services to Tooting Junction Railway Station via Merton Abbey Railway Station , another way to get into the City.

A bill for the Surrey Iron Railway , which ran near Mitcham, was presented to parliament on 27 February 1801 , received Royal Assent on 21 May 1801 and began service on 26 July 1803 . If or when Crossrail Line 2 is built, one of the route options involves taking over the Wimbledon branch of the District Line as far as Parsons Green , and routing trains via Chelsea and central London to Hackney and on to Leytonstone Tube Station and beyond.
