Equality…
Women first competed at Wimbledon in 1884.
Maud Watson was the winner of the inaugural ladies’ singles. Miss Watson honed
her game by playing against male opposition - mainly undergraduates who were
cramming for exams with her vicar father.
Since 2007 women’s prize money at Wimbledon
has been equal to that of men’s.
A London Walk costs £10 – £8 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
