Where are they all?
We need to know where the surviving WIMPY burger restaurants are
I love a Wimpy
Right;
Hayes End, Middlesex There's one on the Uxbridge road ( a4020).
Southsea, next to the Isle of Wight Hovercraft terminal.
Ryde, I.O.W. in the high street.
M.5. Southbound services North of Bristol.
Where else? I, and many others need to know!
Please add to the list!

Meanwhile, the Wimpy Restaurant Locator should assist with the OP's enquiry.

There has been a Wimpy Bar upstairs in Nottingham's Broadmarsh Centre for as long as I can remember, so that's another one for the list
Maidstone still has one I think
There used to be one on Beckenham High Street (London borough of Bromley - south east part of London between Croydon and Kent).
Last summer I saw one on Swanage High Street (Dorset - village on the coast sort of near Wareham).
I can't think of any in the bits of London I know
Just looked at the store locator.........there aren't any at all in central London.......:o
AND THEY ARE LOVELY!
Or the website´s just wrong...
And Lewisham.
The Wimpy in Swanage is in Institute Road which is near the lower High Street. I wouldn't call Swanage a village as it has 4 schools, 6 churches and 2 supermarkets and a population of around 10,000 or twice the size or Wareham.
Okay, the one I've used most often is in Ruislip high street a few yards from the tube station.
Grand Metropolitan took over wimpy in 1987 as a quick way to expand the Burger King chain which it acquired the previous year. Several Wimpy branches were not suitable for conversion to Burger King so instead of closing them down Grand Met set up a separate company for the Wimpy bars which was sold to the management.
Apologies. I´ve only been there once! It´s very nice! xx
It's always busy, which is usually a good sign.
Still there! Although Beckenham is IN Kent, not between Croydon (in Surrey!) and Kent!!!
