Seen by train or tram on journeys from Croydon and the South West of the country, you can find them painted along railway path overlooking the railway tracks (walk down the side of Little Waitrose!) or on new signage in Wimbledon Station.
‘We’ve always been in Wimbledon, but we can be difficult to find. We hope everyone likes our #WomblesLoveWimbledon message where you’ll spot Tobermory, Alderney, Madame Cholet and Orinoco and remember, small changes can have a have big impact on the environment.’ Want to go green like The Wombles?
