Wimbledon tennis screenings 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.  

Take a pew in a deck chair or pack a picnic and lounge on the grass alongside Paddington Basin for Merchant Square’s Wimbledon screenings. The event is free to attend throughout the tournament, but on a first-come first-served basis, so plan accordingly to avoid disappointment. Ramp up the Wimbledon vibes by tucking into strawberries and cream (or with ice cream) from nearby vendors, or take part in beach tennis from coaching club Game Set Beach on some days.

This is a perfectly posh little spot to enjoy the tennis, and much more sport, this summer. The Eccleston Yards courtyard will feature a pop-up bar, plus access to all of Belgravia’s cutesy, gram-worthy eateries. There are 100 seats available, including bean bags, deck chairs and picnic benches, and the suntrap of a site will also be showing England Test Match cricket as well as the Olympic Games throughout the summer months. 

As outdoor cinemas go, this scores pretty well for aesthetics. From July 1 to August 18, Screen on the Canal will be streaming a tonne of films, from family favourites to cult classics, but crucially, it’s all kicking off with Wimbledon. What better place to enjoy the tournament than from the sunny riverside? 

Roll down to the outdoor terrace of Soho's hidden Ham Yard Hotel for what they're calling Centre Court-Yard. Clumsy puns aside, this is a decent spot to soak up all the action, with a big screen, commentary via wireless headphones, strawberries and cream on tap and a tennis-themed afternoon tea for the real Wimbo-heads. 

As well as putting on mega stars – with this year’s lineup including Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo and Zach Bryan – every year BST Hyde Park also hosts Open House, an eight-day-long festival of family-friendly and mostly free events, including open air cinema screenings, bingo sessions and dance workshops. On select days, that will include screenings of Wimbledon 2025, so check the listings if there’s a particular match you’d like to watch outside of your home.

Take in every backhand and ace on a 188-inch screen in Spitalfields’ Bishops Square, which will be populated by deck chairs to keep you comfy, even if the action gets a little nail-biting. The surrounding food and drink outlets will be running special promotions to keep your hunger and thirst at bay, while there’ll also be bocce lanes and dartboards at Alfi if watching the pros makes you want to get involved in something at least a little physical.

If you can’t make it to the tennis courts themselves but still want to head to SW19, try Wimbledon’s The Piazza. There’ll be a big screen broadcasting matches throughout the tournament, meaning you can stay up to date from just a tennis ball’s throw away from the action.

Borough Yards’ outdoor screen at Soap Yard can fit 100 people, so expect the atmosphere to be high at its Wimbledon screenings. The good news? The screen is under a railway viaduct so, should the great British weather strike, you'll be able to stay relatively dry. Get down early to nab a seat and, once you’re done, take a stroll around the shops and restaurants to round off a lovely day out.

Head to Hammersmith to take advantage of rows of deck chairs and a massive screen, as part of the area’s Summer Festival. Matches will be shown every day of the tournament and won’t cost you a penny to attend.
