1 Murray Mound, Wimbledon

Can’t get into the courts? Then Murrary Mound (formerly Henman Hill) with its big screen is the next best thing. For Grounds Pass ticket holders only (not for Show Court ticket holders), if you can bag yourself a good spot, Murray Mound is as close to the action as you can get without actually being courtside.
