Just as in the 18C, the city is dominated by the Guildhall with its ornate projecting clock. Nearby Guildford House is an elegant late 17C town house with paintings from the Borough's art collection and a changing programme of exhibitions. Note the vaulted stone undercroft built by a 13C wool merchant on the High Street and the Abbot's Hospital, a Tudor style building, now a home for the elderly, built in 1619.

Some Danes were previously buried here. Wren built the present building in 1682. The belfry refitted by Gibbs in 1719 has some similarities with St Mary's. The Church damaged by fire in 1941 was restored between 1955 and 1958 under the auspices of the Royal Air Force. It has now become their sanctuary (there are 735 shields of various units embedded in the ground). The Memorial to Bomber Command by Faith Winter was erected outside in 1992.

Charles II incorporated this 48-hectare park into his royal parks in 1667. The said King built an icehouse here (a mound facing No.19 Piccadilly). To the east there is a beautiful view of Spencer House.

The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum is on the site of the international tennis championships, which were created in 1877. It is an open tournament, i.e. open to all players, whether amateur or professional, and usually takes place at the end of June. Central Court, which can be seen from the museum, is used only for this competition. Court no. 1 is used only for specific events, such as the Davis Cup. The museum itself presents the history of tennis in general, and of the Wimbledon Championships in particular.
