The Championships began in 1877 on Worple Road, before the club moved to its current Church Road site in 1922 as crowds outgrew the original ground. Today the grounds hold around 42,000 across all courts, with Centre Court (14,979, roofed since 2009) and No.1 Court (12,345, roofed since 2019) both offering weather-proof play for the world’s oldest and most prestigious Grand Slam.
