Wimbledon and Putney Commons

Wimbledon and Putney Commons span eleven hundred and forty acres of heathland, woodland, and bog, defined by the sweeping, open landscape that cuts across southwest London. This expanse—comprising Wimbledon Common, Putney Heath, and Putney Lower Common—remains protected by the Wimbledon and Putney Commons Act of eighteen seventy-one, which forbids any building or enclosure on the land.
