Wimbledon tennis screenings in London

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. 

You can order drinks to your deckchair during the Wimbledon screenings at Victoria’s spacious rooftop garden and Cardinal Place’s Wagamama usually offers a click-and-collect service. The garden’s website says there will be ‘plenty of surprises throughout the day’. The mind boggles! 

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. 

Sure, there are loads of oversized outdoor screens in London, but not all of them live beside a licensed bar and good people selling pork tacos. Southwark’s food, booze and event spot Flat Iron will be showing all the Wimbledon matches this year. Couldn’t give a deuce? Just raise a shiraz to Queen Serena at the wine bar, Tap and Bottle. 

Several grand squares and courtyards in Belgravia and Mayfair, including Brown Hart Gardens and Eccleston Yards, will be screening the tennis. Pick up sustenance from local restaurants and bars, many of which will have special offers running. 

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. 

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.

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.

Greenwich’s slick, snazzy Peninsula gets a makeover each year as part of its Summer Sessions. As well as a programme of music, films, parties and games, they’ll also be using their huge cinema screen to show all the Wimbledon finals on July 9-10. It’s free to head along and unlike Centre Court, you’ll also get a nice view of the Thames. 

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. From July 5-10 it will be showing all the major finals matches - comfy deckchairs and food from Wulf and Lamb, 2 Lads, The Hungry Llama, Com Amar, Soffrita, Sicily and Man in Pasta provided.
