I sat on on the grassy bank two years ago.

Apart from the stupid prices of drinks, it was great fun. Boozy picnic with friends. Chatting to interesting random strangers. Certainly an experience.

I've never been but yes I'd imagine on a nice summers day it would be quite pleasant.

I didn't realise it wasn't Henman Hill anymore...

Earlier when the tennis was on mute in the background I said to my dad (when Murray was a set up) "They should rename Henman Hill, Murray Mound or something." He just laughed...

How about " Tennis fans who are not 'celebrities' or millionaires but would like to support their favourite players, free view".

I don't see how sitting on a hill and watching it on TV is supporting their favorite players any more than me sitting at home on watching TV is. As said you do pay a lot of money just to get into Wimbledon and this does give you access to most of the outside courts where there's plenty of very good Tennis to be seen, I'm a tennis fan and I've been to Wimbledon several times, not once felt compelled to go and sit on the hill, would rather go and watch some Doubles on court 11, much more interesting.

You didn't feel compelled to go and watch some of that live tennis you bought a ticket for?

Although I like Notters' "Pillocks Hillock"
How about "Tourette's Tor": then you could quite legitimately scream abuse at every one cos "it's in the name innit" ?
