I camped overnight to score front row tickets at Wimbledon. The famed queue was such a memorable experience I'm already planning to do it again next year.

I arrived at Wimbledon Park at around 6:00 p.m. the night before.

I set up my tent before having a walk around the park.

There were food stalls and a 24-hour cafe.

This stunning view was well worth checking out.

The best thing to do, however, was soak up the sunshine with a picnic.

After the sun went down, I decided to call it a night.

The sleep wasn't the most comfortable.

The next morning I was woken up at around 5:45 a.m. to pack my tent up.

Once packed up, I joined the official queue.

Despite being up so early, however, it was hours before we could buy tickets.

This was the longest part of the day, especially considering I was on my own. 

Between around 7:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., we had to wait outside the ticket office while the grounds were preparing to open.

With nothing else to do and my phone rapidly running out of battery, I chatted to some others in the queue.

Brent, who had traveled from California to be at Wimbledon, told me he had been camping for two weeks at the park, taking his tent down and putting it back up every day to get tickets. I didn't ask how much he'd spent, but I'm guessing it was a lot. 

Maria, a mathematics student at the University of Oxford who hailed from Cyprus, was also alone but said she "couldn't miss" the chance to see Rafael Nadal on Centre Court. 

Finally, I got to buy my ticket.

And at 10 a.m., I was finally let into the grounds.

Inside, I had Pimms and Strawberries before the action.

Before taking my seat, which was absolutely amazing.

So great was my experience, I'm already planning for next year.
