It's game, set and match as the annual Wimbledon Championships return to south London from June 29-July 12, bringing with them a host of world-famous players and a lot of nail-biting from the crowds (usually a who's-who of A-list celebrities and high-society, no less).
Tickets sell like gold dust and are priced accordingly, naturally – especially if you want a prime position in Centre Court for the finals – but we've got a better idea: catching all the action of the best matches from brilliant pubs in south London. Sure, you don't get to see the sweat on the brows of Carlos Alcaraz, Jack Draper and Aryna Sabalenka up close, but you'll be served much-needed refreshments a hell of a lot quicker, while watching everything on the screen unfold much closer than you would perched atop Henman Hill.
Luckily, Greene King offers some of the best watering holes near Wimbledon for catching the matches as close as possible, while the generous publicans behind their bars are serving up £3 glasses of Pimm's for those with their app ahead of the tournament from June 26-28.* Could there be a more quintessentially British way of kicking things off?
