Frequently Asked Questions


Question: Do you have parking facilities?
Answer:  
No, I'm afraid not. The nearest car park is in the Broadway, near to Wimbledon Theatre (approx. 5 mins walk). Unloading is prohibited outside the house on Mon-Sat from 7-10am and 4-7pm. Other times it is allowed. As of 1 December 2014 there are no restrictions to parking on The Broadway on a Sunday, so visitors can park outside the House on that day.

Question: How long have you been in existence?
Answer:
William Morris Meetings Rooms has been a community meeting place for local people in Wimbledon and Merton for over 90 years.  We were established on 2 December 1921 and we took ownership of our premises on 1 September 1922 after a concerted effort by workers in the local community to raise a deposit and obtained a mortgage from the Co-operative Wholesale Society Bank.  The House was officially opened by The Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson MP. on 30 September 1922.  Our name William Morris House links back to those original workers who established the Society and who used to work at Morris & Co in Merton Abbey Mills.
