Wimbledon Unveils Plans to Transform Henman Hill by 2027

The All England Club announces redevelopment to enhance accessibility, seating, and weather protection ahead of the 150th anniversary of the Championships.

• Henman Hill, a Wimbledon fan favorite, will undergo redevelopment starting after the 2026 Championships to be completed by 2027.
• The project includes a 20% increase in seating capacity through new retaining walls and improved tier gradients for better visibility.
• Accessibility will be significantly enhanced with wheelchair-accessible paths and seating areas on every tier.
• A new pergola will provide shade and rain cover, encircling the historic Aorangi Oak tree, alongside sustainable design elements like permeable pathways.
• Local residents will be consulted on April 10, 2025, before the planning application is submitted to the London Borough of Merton.
