Wimbledon is planning to renovate its iconic ‘Henman Hill’ and increase capacity for the tournament’s 150th anniversary.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thousands of fans have watched action on a big screen from the grass slope which is open to supporters without show-court tickets.<\/p>\n

The proposed revamp – which has not yet been approved – would increase the hill’s capacity by 20% in time for the 2027 event and increase accessibility.<\/p>\n

It is the latest change planned for the All England Club, after a 39-court expansion was approved last year.<\/a><\/p>\n

“It’s all about enhancing this whole area, obviously it’s become extremely popular but accessibility is difficult for everyone,” said four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist Tim Henman, after whom the hill was named.<\/p>\n

“We are always looking to enhance wherever we are on the estate. This is going to be an exciting project.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
