Outdoor sports screens in London

Is there anything that says Quintessential British Summer more than watching Wimbledon with a Pimms cocktail in hand? We’re not sure there is. There’ll be lashings of the fruity liqueur on hand at Covent Garden’s tennis screenings this summer. Head down to the iconic Covent Garden Piazza to grab yourself a glass at The Crêpe Stop before battling it out with tourists and off-duty living statues for a striped deckchair in front of its massive outdoor screen.

Portman Square Garden’s Summer in the Square returns for its eleventh year this summer from July 7-12 with another programme of outdoorsy summer fun including wellbeing workshops, kids activities, 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.  

Bluebird Chelsea is throwing an appropriately bougie garden party in honour of Wimbledon, with every match from day one all the way through to the finals shown on its tennis. For the all-important refreshments, there’ll be 'summer of serves' cocktails created in collaboration with coffee brand Lavazza.

If you’re not keen to fork out £5,000 a night for your love of Wimbledon, keep scrolling. For five times the cost of most people’s monthly rent, the mega posh 1 Hotel Mayfair is offering personal Wimbo screenings for anyone who books into one of its suites during the tournament. Lawn chairs and a large screen will be set up on your private terrace and you’ll be spoiled with a summer BBQ, a Pimms bar and strawberries and cream to boot.
