Directions
One way, perhaps the most common, is to walk from Wimbledon station (15 mins North), or catch a bus up the hill. The 93 bus passes the East side of the common.
You can also walk from Southfields underground station. (District Line) Head West up the hill and follow the road round in either directions when it forks (15 - 20 mins).
Access
There's a car park at the windmill cafe.
Facilities
Cafe with toilets. Also, Windmill museum £2 entry.
Legendary local birder: Bob Wills :-)
