Has all the hype around ‘Challengers’ got you gagging for even more racket-based entertainment this summer? Great news, because the Wimbledon Tennis Championships – aka the oldest, and arguably the very best, tennis tournament in the world – is back in SW19 in just a few short weeks. 

Missed out on tickets in the ballot this year? Can’t face camping out on the street for a chance to nab day tickets? Not to worry! You don’t have to make the pilgrimage to Murray Mound (fine, Henman Hill) to feel like you’re part of the action.

London is a city that gives back, and as usual it’ll be peppered with big screens showing all the Centre Court action in so much blown-up high-res glory that you might as well be court-side. 

This year the tournament (which started in 1877!) runs from Monday 1st July 2024 to Sunday 14th July 2024 and you’ll catch screens across the capital showing televised matches for the duration of the contest, so there are plenty of opportunities to spend an afternoon or evening in a sweet viewing spot. 

There will be more big screens announced nearer the time, many of which will also have extras such as special edition cocktails, food offers and even pop-up tennis coaching. So grab yourself some M&S gins in tins – and a nice big punnet of strawberries while you’re on – and pull up a pew at a summery screening near you.

Where to watch Wimbledon in London

One of the earliest-opening and longest-running of London’s outdoor screen pop-ups, Canary Wharf’s Summer Screens in Canada Square Park and Cabot Square will be showing all the sporting action you could possibly wish for throughout the summer, from cricket to F1, Ascot to the Olympics and, of course, tennis from Wimbledon. The area’s many restaurants and bars are on hand to keep you fed and watered.

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.

Where better to watch Wimbledon than, well, Wimbledon? If you don’t feel like tramping around Murray Mound looking for a spare square inch of grass on which to park yourself, head to Wimbledon Piazza instead. 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.

Portman Square Garden’s Summer in the Square returns for its tenth year this summer, with another programme of outdoorsy summer fun including wellbeing workshops and activities courtesy of pop-up venue The Wellness Den, 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.
