On the network it is Blackheath (Southeastern) to Southfields (the District line), plus a 15-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that Southfields is queue-managed throughout The Championships. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 35 min, or 1h when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.
Out of Blackheath (SE3) the driver picks up the A2 then the A205, joining A3 then A219 Parkside for the run-in. About 13.7 miles in all - 35 min when it flows, 1h when it does not.
Any address across Blackheath works, SE3 included, at whatever hour the South East London traffic is doing its worst.
Somerset Road or Burghley Road; Church Road itself is closed to traffic during The Championships. Church Road and Somerset Road operate a controlled zone through the fortnight, so drivers meet at the agreed gate rather than the main entrance. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: All England Lawn Tennis Club, Church Road, SW19 5AE.
Parking at The Championships, Wimbledon is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the day at the tennis. Working back, that means leaving Blackheath around 1h plus that hour on a busy night - and booking the return at the same time, because the road out is slower than the road in.
