station platform was covered in red flooring, as were the benches, because of American Express's advertising campaign for a credit card that supports an AIDS charity. In 2005, Televisions were installed and played non-stop adverts, also for American Express. In 2009, the makeover was funded by HSBC. In 2010 it was funded by Asda and advertised their strawberries. Connections London Buses routes 39, 493 (which has a bus stop at the AELTC) and 639 serve the station. During the two weeks of Wimbledon Tennis a shuttle bus runs from Southfields Station to the tennis courts. Travelcards and bus passes are not accepted on this bus. Automated train announcements state that Southfields is the station at which to alight for the "Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club" (rather than the club's actual name, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club) as it is an easy 10–15 minutes' walk along a main road to the club and Southfields is better set up for large crowds than Wimbledon Park station.
