Welcome to Wimbledon
The cut and thrust of the fastest sport in the world, coupled with the
luxurious surroundings of the finest purpose built venue in South
London – you’ve just got to come greyhound racing at Wimbledon Stadium.
We have the acclaimed Star Attraction Restaurant, the less formal
Broadway Diner or you might prefer to grab something on the run from
one of our excellent fast-food outlets. Then again what about bringing
a party to one of our four highly acclaimed Executive Boxes.
If you want to experience the unique feel of the atmosphere on the
terraces, that’s available too. Then afterwards why not have a drink in
the new state-of-the-art Paddock Lounge area. The Greyhound Pub is open
from 5.30pm which can be used as a pre-race meeting point.
It is hard to believe so much can fit under one roof, but then
Wimbledon Stadium is the product of £3.5million investment by GRA, the
biggest and most experienced greyhound promoter in the business.
