Centre Court Wimbledon: In New Hands
Romulus Real Estate share the foundations of their future plans for Wimbledon’s community hub, with local residents due to have their say
Centre Court Shopping Centre in Wimbledon has been acquired by Romulus, a SW London-based property investment and development group, targeting increased demand for locally based, mixed use community hubs.
Romulus are currently developing plans to reinvigorate Centre Court and are eager to engage with Wimbledon residents and businesses for suggestions on the Centre’s future and new uses in the coming months.
Romulus own and manage over 1,000,000 square feet of commercial spaces across London, with a particular focus on prime neighbourhood hubs including Hammersmith, Fulham and now Wimbledon.
Centre Court Shopping Centre, located adjacent to Wimbledon station, opened its doors in 1992 and is currently home to over 65 brands such as H&M, M&S, Oliver Bonas, and Whittard, as well as independent bar and restaurant 601 Queen’s Road.

Well experienced in such reinvigoration projects, Romulus have successfully transformed some of London’s landmark sites such as 30 Cannon Street, 3 Shortlands, and is currently carrying out a mixed-use project at the Fulham Centre on Fulham Broadway.
Commenting on the recent acquisition and their future plans for Centre Court, Alex Woolf, Strategy Director at Romulus said: “we are very excited to be working on our plans to re-establish Centre Court at the heart of the Wimbledon community. As part of this we will be listening closely to local residents and businesses.”
As Romulus begin their long-term reinvigoration of Centre Court, local residents are encouraged to keep their eyes peeled for future initiatives that will hope to collate the views and experiences of those who recognise the Centre as a hub of community activity.
