In addition to waiting in line at the gate, there are also a limited number of same-day tickets released during each day of the tournament via Ticketmaster UK (there's a link at the official Wimbledon site). You'll need access to a printer for the e-tickets.

We were in London during Wimbledon last year. We took our two sons out and stood in line around 3:30 - 4:00 p.m., at 5:00 p.m. they only charge around $22.00 U.S to get in. We got in at 5:00 p.m. and enjoyed many of the matches that play on the outer courts.

Don't be discouraged by the line it moves quickly at that time.
