Your invitation to join us at the world's greatest tennis event, The Championships 2026
Your day will include some of the best tennis the world has to offer and an exclusive insight into the technology powering Wimbledon. You will be hosted in our private suite, where we’ll offer a stationed-buffet lunch, afternoon tea, refreshments, and wonderful balcony views over the grounds. More information about the day can be found in the Wimbledon Hospitality Handbook.
Southfields is the nearest Underground station, about a 15-minute walk away. Wimbledon is the closest Overground station, approximately a 22-minute walk. Shared taxi services with fixed fares operate from Southfields and Wimbledon station. We recommend dropping off on Barth Road. Please note that ride sharing apps will not be able to pass through the Church Road closure. Upon arrival, please proceed to the Arrivals Hub, located through the walkway opposite Gate 4. A member of the IBM Hospitality Team will provide you with an access lanyard and escort you to the suite.
We highly recommend using public transportation as the roads around Wimbledon can be very busy, and there is a strict ‘no stopping’ policy at any point adjacent to the grounds. If a chauffeur service is preferred, Gerrard Chauffeur Drive offers a premium transportation service that provides direct access to Car Park 5 and the Arrival Hub for hospitality guests attending The Championships. For bookings or inquiries, please email bookings@gerrardcars.co.uk or dial 020 8944 5252. If planning to drive yourself, parking is extremely limited around the grounds of Wimbledon. Parking passes are offered for Car Park 5 and are available upon request and are subject to availability. If you are interested in a car parking pass, please reach out to your IBM host as soon as possible.
Your tickets will be digital this year and sent to you via email before your day at the Championships. Please keep an eye out for an email from the AELTC. You will need to download the MyWimbledon app to accept your tickets. Clear instructions will be provided in the email from the AELTC. If you have any questions, please contact your IBM host.
