Ever wondered how many people it takes to run a global event like The Championships?

Countless hours go into making the tournament a success, and lots of that work is done by our staff

Update: we now have aerators in place and operational throughout the lake, and tests are showing that oxygen levels are already rising, reducing the risk of further fish deaths

[Merton Council @Merton_Council]

Sadly, a number of fish have died in Wimbledon Park Lake.

Initial investigations indicate that the likely cause is the exceptionally hot weather, and there is no evidence to suggest that pollution is responsible.
