Wimbledon hotel prices surges 300 per cent during Championship season
In the week prior to the Championships, hotels in Wimbledon were priced at £101 per night on average. However, during the tournament, they shot up 82 per cent in the first week to around £184, and then soared 310 per cent to an average of £313 over the final weekend of Wimbledon.
The research discovered that some of the most expensive hotels in Wimbledon during the championships can cost upwards of a £871 per night towards the end of the tournament. However, it is possible to find cheaper alternatives as there are rooms available during the first week of Wimbledon at just £68 per night.

Spectators who wish to stay further afield and travel in for the event may be interested in Kingston upon Thames, Putney, Richmond upon Thames, and Central London are viable alternatives. However, the hotel prices in these alternatives have also increased a staggering amount for Wimbledon.
Hotel prices in Central London are £93 per night on average, the week leading up to Wimbledon. However, the prices rise by 144 per cent in week one to £227 per night, and they increase even further during week two to £249 per night, which is a 168 per cent premium.
Richmond upon Thames is the cheapest place to stay for the Championships. Hotel prices only increase by 49 per cent in week one and 43 per cent in week two, up from an average of £182 per night the week prior to Wimbledon to £272 and £260 respectively.
Increasing prices seem to be a trend at Wimbledon in 2025 as strawberries and cream rise in price for the first time since 2010, from £2.50 to £2.70 a portion, an 8 per cent increase. Standard Centre Court seats also rose in price from £90 to £105 from day one of the Grand Slam, an increase of 17 per cent.
Despite these changes, Wimbledon is more popular than ever. They received a record number of ballot applications for tickets to this year's competition, and over half a million people attended last year's Championships over the two weeks.

Report: Liverpool midfielders attract serious interest from West Ham
West Ham Eye Move for Liverpool Duo Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton Youth-Driven Strategy at West Ham Under Potter As reported by ExWHUEmployee via The West Ham Way, West Ham United are now stepping up their pursuit of Liverpool midfielders Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton. With the Hammers' summer business shifting focus to youth recruitment, the club is said to be 'seriously examining the prospect' of landing the talented pair — both aged 22 — to support their squad rebuild under new manager Graham Potter and Head of Recruitment Kyle Macaulay. Advertisement Their transfer approach is clear: reduce the average age of the squad and inject fresh energy into a team that has looked stagnant in recent seasons. The signings of younger prospects like El Hadji Malick Diouf reflect this ethos, and the interest in Elliott and Morton aligns seamlessly. 'Tyler Morton and Harvey Elliott are also likely to have interest stepped up this week,' ExWHUEmployee confirmed, offering further credibility to what could become a significant piece of transfer business between Liverpool and West Ham. Elliott's Liverpool Future Under the Microscope Harvey Elliott's situation is particularly intriguing. Despite impressing in the 2023/24 campaign, the young midfielder's game time was drastically reduced last season. Even after starring for England U21s and earning the Player of the Tournament accolade during their victorious Euro campaign, Elliott appears to be on the fringes at Liverpool. Advertisement With Liverpool undergoing major squad reshuffling — five signings already completed and multiple exits on the horizon — Elliott may well be among those looking for a fresh start. This isn't a case of Liverpool pushing him out; rather, it's about a player eager for consistent minutes. West Ham could offer just that — a Premier League platform with the promise of regular football under a progressive manager like Potter. Tyler Morton Seeking Senior Step-Up Like Elliott, Tyler Morton also impressed for England U21s this summer. After a strong loan spell at Hull City in 23/24, he has matured into a reliable deep-lying midfielder. At Liverpool, however, opportunities remain scarce due to a packed midfield roster. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement Morton has long been earmarked as a talent, but now he finds himself at a career crossroads. At 22, a move to a club like West Ham might offer the first real chance of staking a long-term claim in the Premier League. Given his technical ability and game intelligence, he fits Potter's preferred system — possession-based and progressive. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a Liverpool supporter's perspective, this report paints a bittersweet picture. Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton represent two of the brightest academy graduates in recent years, both with clear potential to play Premier League football for years to come. But football is often about timing, and right now, both players find themselves on the outside looking in. Advertisement Elliott, in particular, has long been seen as a future star. His skill, energy and versatility make him a fan favourite, but the brutal truth is that minutes have been hard to come by. If he leaves, many supporters will understand — not because he isn't good enough, but because he deserves to play regularly. Morton's case is less emotionally charged but equally pragmatic. He's developed well and may now need a new environment to truly kick on. If West Ham is that place, Liverpool fans will wish him well — with an eye on a potential buy-back clause, just in case he flourishes. Ultimately, this potential double departure would be a classic case of right players, wrong time. Liverpool's midfield evolution may leave little room for sentiment.
