In a year or two I expect to be visiting the main Olympic stadium. I'm
considering a side trip to visit the civic hall for the Wimbledon area.

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

What do you mean by "the civic hall for the Wimbledon area"? Wimbledon
is in the London Borough of Merton, whose main headquarters is at the
Civic Centre, London Road, Morden, SM4 5DX, near Morden Underground
station (Northern Line) and about 2 miles from Wimbledon.

Until 1965, Wimbledon was a borough with a town hall (built 1931) at the
corner of Queens Road and Wimbledon Bridge, near Wimbledon station. It
is no longer a council building; Google Street View shows a Tesco Metro
supermarket in the building.
