Wimbledon 2024: London’s outdoor screenings and the best places to watch the tennis

Source: Press handout

It’s that time of year again: put the Pimm’s on ice and get the strawberries and cream at the ready — Wimbledon returns.

From July 1, the eyes of the sporting world will once again turn to SW19, as the biggest names in tennis compete for the most prestigious prize in the calendar.

Aside from the glitterati attending in full force, Wimbledon is a tournament marked by sunshine; the matches are always best enjoyed outside. Happily, there are plenty of free outdoor screenings taking place right across the capital.

There will of course be plenty of pubs, restaurants and rooftops (everywhere from the boujee Selfridges rooftop, to the more humble Crown by Victoria Park is set to screen the matches) but here we’re focussing on the sunniest spots, publicly available, perfect for pulling up a deck chair and enjoying some championship tennis.

If you itself, here’s the extensive round-up of the very best outdoor spots to head to, listed in no particular order.
