Family entertainment for bike festival
Love Wimbledon is hosting a Street Party on Sunday August 4 to celebrate RideLondon coming through the town centre and to cheer on the brave cyclists.
The celebrations will be taking place on Wimbledon Hill Road between the Worple Road junction and St Georges Road junction from midday.
