The Museum of Wimbledon is a local history museum at 22 Ridgway, Wimbledon, in the London Borough of Merton. The museum was established in 1916.[1] Run by The Wimbledon Society and staffed by volunteers, it is open at the weekends[2][3] but, as of November 2020, is closed for refurbishment.[2]

The Wimbledon Society also runs the adjacent Village Hall Trust Gallery, which is used for photographic and other exhibitions, such as "Wimbledon Now and Then", which ran from December 2013 to March 2014.[4]
