Where to watch Wimbledon in London this summer
All eyes are on SW19 as Wimbledon prepares to get under way for another summer. The world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament has kicked off in the leafy southwest London postcode, bringing with it more Pimm's, socialites, and strawberries and cream than you can shake a stick at. If you didn't manage to snag a courtside ticket never fear, because London is brimming with big screens in spots where you can soak up the atmosphere. From open-air bars to BYOB screenings, here's where to catch all the grass-court action. Gallons of strawberries and endless flutes of fizz are being prepped at Duke of York Square in Chelsea, which is hosting one of the city's biggest free outdoor screenings of the men's semi-finals, women's final and men's final. Tennis enthusiasts can either throw down a picnic blanket on the manicured green opposite the Saatchi Gallery or rent a VIP deckchair for the day. On Saturday, July 12, a fine-foods market will be selling all kinds of delicious pre-game nibbles, and there will also be mini tennis coaching sessions for children who want to perfect their serve. • Your guide to life in London: what's new in culture, food and property If you're craving the buzz of a crowd, you'd be hard pushed to find an area of London more thronged with weekend visitors than Covent Garden Piazza. During Wimbledon the shopping district will be swapping street performers and buskers for grand-slam action broadcast from its own open-air screen, as well as deck chairs and even a Aperol bar. Grab yourself a glass of the Italian aperitivo and pray the rain holds off. The big screen on Regent's Canal is easily one of London's most idyllic free cinemas. If lounging on these iconic grassy steps is an experience you've yet to tick off your summer bucket list, Wimbledon is the perfect excuse to slather on the factor 50 and settle down with a pint or two. The Everyman-sponsored screen will show games every day until the two-week tournament wraps up on July 13. Bluebird Chelsea will serve grand slam parfaits and courtside spritzes Don't fancy fighting tooth and nail to secure a spot at a free screening? The King's Road institution Bluebird will be hosting a more intimate airing of the men's final on July 13. Tickets cost £90 to manage numbers, but that can be put against your bar tab on the day. Alongside the match, the glitzy brunch spot will be serving a limited-edition menu of grand slam parfaits and courtside spritzes. And it wouldn't be Wimbledon without the obligatory dessert of strawberries and cream. East Londoners don't have to shlep across town on the torturously hot Central Line to catch the action this summer, thankfully, because the outdoor venue Hackney Bridge is showing all the live tennis on its huge glare-free screen. The gigantic canal-side beer garden in Hackney Wick has tons of picnic tables, plus a gourmet food market with street favourites, including Puglian pizzas, Mex Club tacos and tasty Sri Lankan curries. Come for the tennis, stay for the sunset. • Wimbledon 2025 queue tips and secrets: how to get tickets Boxpark became known as one of the best places to watch live sport after scenes of pint-hurling fans celebrating England goals went viral during last summer's Euros. The tennis might be a touch less raucous, but the atmosphere at the Wembley outpost will be buzzing nonetheless, with much of the tournament shown on the big screen. Expect roaring surround sound, beer-hall style tables, and street food favourites served all day — from jerk chicken at Twerk & Jerk to gravy-dipped burgers at Nanny Bill's and bao buns from Inamo Sukoshi.
