Approximately how far is it and how much time should I allow for the

Depends on time of day, day of the week and the way you make the
journey.

There are loads of options for routes - assuming Stratford to Wimbledon.

Central Line to Mile End - District Line Mile End to Wimbledon. There is
cross platform interchange at Mile End so very simple and quick to make
the change.

Jubilee Line to West Ham - District Line West Ham to Wimbledon

Jubilee Line to Waterloo - South West Trains (from the main line
station) to Wimbledon

Jubilee Line to Westminster - District Line to Wimbledon

The interchange routes for the above three options are a bit longer and
more convoluted but are well signed.

Tube services are typically very frequent but slower.
The SWT service from Waterloo to Wimbledon is a tad less frequent than
the tube but is quick - especially if you get a semi-fast train.

I'd estimate between 50-60 mins to make the journey depending on which
route to take.

If you wish to play around with the options then the TfL Journey Planner
can help.

You haven't mentioned taking Thameslink to St Pancreas and the
"Javelin" ... (assuming it's during the Olympics).
