Wimbledon: village calm, with one very public fortnight.

Wimbledon splits neatly in two: the Village up the hill, with its large houses backing onto the Common, and the busier town below by the station. For most of the year it is a quiet, prosperous, leafy district; for two weeks each summer the Championships put it on the world’s screens and fill it with visitors, players and the attention that follows them. The Common and the private roads around it define the residential picture.

So our Wimbledon work runs in two registers: the quiet residential-and-driving pattern that suits the Village and the Common-side houses most of the year, and a scaled-up footing for the Championships — visiting principals, players and guests moved through a district that crowds and closes, with one point of contact holding the fortnight’s diary. Surveys for the private roads round it out.

An illustrative scenario

The kind of fortnight the Championships produce: a guest of the tournament moved between house, club and court without ever meeting the crowd the event created.

Local context — the Wimbledon area

Recorded crime here is low for most of the year — a leafy, residential pattern. The variable is the Championships fortnight, when profile and footfall both rise; that is a planning-and-routing exercise, not a reflection of any ambient risk the figures would show.

These are anonymised, approximate map-point figures for roughly a one-mile radius — never a specific street, property or person — for the most recent month published. “Violence” is the Home Office “violence and sexual offences” category — a broad measure spanning harassment and common assault through to serious violence, much of it domestic or inside licensed premises. It is not a measure of targeted risk to a protected client.
