The convoy parked up outside a block of flats<\/p>\n
Residents of one South West London neighbourhood were left frustrated when the convoy of a member of royalty parked on a private driveway while he attended the tennis<\/a> at nearby Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n King Frederik X of Denmark was present in the Royal Box at Wimbledon on Sunday, July 5, to watch Novak Djokovic compete. Before his visit, the 58-year-old monarch and his entourage left their vehicles outside a block of flats just a stone’s throw from the All England Club.<\/p>\n The road serves as a vital access route for residents, with both the entrance and exit to the apartment block situated there. One resident discovered the convoy while hanging out her laundry.<\/p>\n Residents of the block said it isn’t the first time something similar has happened<\/p>\n She told Sell Us Your Story: “It was one of those that surprised me – the drive backs up to our block – there is an entry and exit door for residents. I didn’t see them pull up, but then I looked up and saw the two cars. I saw there was a flag and I noticed it was a Danish flag.”<\/p>\n She added: “I was getting ready to go out to the shop anyway, but it was a big Bentley and behind it another parked car. I imagine they parked there waiting for him to watch the game and they decided that was a good place to park. I wanted to go and knock on their window and say ‘you can’t park here’ – it’s an access point for either the binmen or maintenance, emergency services etc. As I walked past, it was quite obvious it was a security detail or a chauffeur car.”<\/p>\n Barul Kapoor, 43, who has lived in the block for over a year, said: “I’m not surprised. I have seen people sitting in that space there. It is annoying as a resident. I have seen a couple of people during Wimbledon having a picnic in the compound.”<\/p>\n She explained it is “quite a lot” of money to live in Lakeview Court and own a car parking permit.<\/p>\n She said: “We put up a chain, but cars are still parked outside the complex who don’t live here.”<\/p>\n A fellow resident, who has lived in the block for five years and wished to remain anonymous, echoed her frustration. He said: “People should not be parking on private property<\/a>. During the Wimbledon season it happens a lot. It’s annoying. It doesn’t matter who it is, the law is the law. The fact that people think they can just go onto someone’s property and park their car.”<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/0_SWNS_DENMARK_04.jpg\")
