*************

Wimbledon and Putney Commons are a large open space in south-west London, totalling 460 hectares (1140 acres).[1]

There are three distinct segments—Wimbledon Common, Putney Heath, and Putney Lower Common. The last is separated from the rest of the Common by about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of built-up area.

A windmill stands near the centre of Wimbledon Common (see picture), distinguished by being the place where Robert Baden-Powellwrote parts of Scouting for Boys, which was published in 1908.

Two broad, shallow pools, Kingsmere and Rushmere, lie near roads on the higher parts of Wimbledon Common and seem to be the result of gravel extraction. The more remote Queensmere is somewhat deeper, being impounded in a small valley.

Beverley Brook runs along the western edge of Wimbledon Common. The part of the 'Beverley Brook Walk' (a local walking route) which crosses Wimbledon Common can conveniently be picked up by walking from Coombe Lane along Beverley Avenue (a turning off Coombe Lane, close to where Coombe Lane crosses the A3). The pedestrian route is clearly signposted at the bottom end (i.e. the north end) of Beverley Avenue. (Ignore the sign at the south end of Beverley Avenue which is pointing towards the A3 and presently suggests that the route is away from Beverley Avenue rather than along Beverley Avenue). That public right of way passes along the edge of playing fields, and then onto Wimbledon Common itself.

There are approximately one million trees on the common.
