High street coffee chain Starbucks has closed its branch in Wimbledon Village.

The Starbucks store on the High Street in the village closed on Sunday, March 17, after 15 years trading at the premises. 

A spokesperson said:  "Like many other retailers, and as part of the normal course of our business over the year, we regularly review our stores to ensure they’re contributing to a sustainable business for the future.

"Consequently, we took the difficult decision to close our store on Wimbledon High Street, after 15 years as part of the local community."

It is understood all employees at the store have been redeployed to other stores.

There are four other Starbucks stores across the borough.
