Ideal for a sunny day. And for a cold rainy day: "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".
Eleven hundred acres of heath, bog and old woodland, saved from Earl Spencer in 1871 and still run by their own conservators, with an Iron Age fort and a windmill in the middle.

Wimbledon Common, Putney Heath and Putney Lower Common are 460 hectares of open ground between Wimbledon, Putney and Kingston, the largest stretch of heathland in London and a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its bog plants, its old oak and beech woods on the clay of the western slopes and its stag beetles. In 1864 Earl Spencer, lord of the manor, brought a bill to Parliament to enclose the Common, build himself a house on it and sell the rest for building; after a public inquiry he lost, and the Act of 1871 handed the whole of it to a board of Conservators, elected in part by the people who live within three-quarters of a mile and pay a levy for it, who still run it with mounted keepers. Caesar's Camp, the Iron Age hill fort near the golf course, has nothing to do with Caesar. The windmill of 1817 near the centre is a museum, and its car park is where most people start; from there the rides run out across the heath to Queensmere and Kingsmere and down into the woods towards Richmond Park.
