No end in sight for Wimbledon queue

We are local and it is a mixed blessing. Local businesses do a roaring trade. Traffic gets snarled up, even worse than usual, so however you travel, even by tube, you need to consider times and routes. Generally there is a lot of good humour around, though.

Those who love it enough will go thru the hardship anyway

A grand tradition if you're a local, perhaps. It'd be a nightmare for the many people who are interested in traveling overseas to attend.
