Wimbledon tennis screenings in London

Canary Wharf’s Summer Screens in Canada Square Park and Cabot Square show golf, Formula One, cricket and, of course, tennis from Wimbledon. The area’s many restaurants and bars are on hand to keep you fed and watered.

This pretty marina, once one of the UK’s busiest tea ports, is now playing host to a British stereotype of a different kind. That’s right, St Kats will be showing Wimbledon on a floating pontoon full of deckchairs with cocktail takeovers across the duration of the tournament. 

The Wimbledon screenings on the faux-grass canalside steps by Granary Square usually get pretty busy as crowds gather with plastic flutes and bottles of Waitrose prosecco, so get there early. And if your fave hits an ace, there are 1,080 choreographed fountain jets right behind to help you cool off. Stick around after the matches for free open-air film screenings curated by Everyman Cinemas. 

This summer, Covent Garden’s putting up a big screen to show Wimbledon within a stone’s throw of the tournament's official outfitter, Polo Ralph Lauren. Go along to soak up atmos, provided that you’re willing to duke it out with tourists and off-duty living statues for a striped deckchair. Grab a Pimms or strawberries and cream from the handy The Crêpe Stop.

South London’s snazzy new hangout Borough Yards is putting up a big screen on its glitzy courtyard and showing Wimbledon matches across the tournament. There’s no need to miss out on any of the action with the nearby Wimbledon bar with rotating hosts: Brother Marcus, Mondo Beer and Pizza, Vinoteca and Bar Daskal. Look out for your fave retailers putting on special offers and discounts for the occasion. 

As part of its Summer by the River celebrations, London Bridge City will devote its big screen to showing all the Wimbledon matches. Grab a pew in its big stone amphitheatre The Scoop to watch matches every day throughout the tournament all completely free. 

Where better to watch Wimbledon than, well, Wimbledon? This is a ‘no cost, no queue’ shindig, so just pull up a deckchair and catch some rays while you watch tennis titans battle it out about 1.3 miles away on Centre Court. 

Who needs Centre Court when you have St James Market? Get the best views of open-air screenings of the Wimbledon Championships. See the full tournament from the comfort of a deckchair in the heart of the West End and keep an eye out for local restaurants offering special Wimbledon deals and incentives.

Tennis fans who haven’t got the willpower to queue for Murray Mound should pack a picnic and head to Strawberries and Screen, where you can watch the Men’s Semi-Finals and Men’s and Women’s Finals on July 14 to 16. Settle down for the match with a picnic hamper or strawberries and cream from one of the pop-up stalls. There’ll also be a bar selling Pimms and free tennis lessons to help you perfect your backhand.

Paddington’s Merchant Square will be showing the entire tournament on its big screen. BYOB (that’s bring your own blanket; though we hope you don’t need one, it should be a nice hot day, fingers crossed) and settle down with a cocktail to get a load of the action.

Summer is coming to Portman Square Garden. It’s Summer in the Square series will feature wellbeing workshops and activities, as well as a fully stocked bar and specially-picked street food stalls. And it wouldn’t be summer without Wimbledon. It’ll be showing all the major matches in the final week of the tournament. Expect comfy deckchairs and food from popular local restaurants on rotation in the guest kitchen.
