London


<p>Everyone&#8217;s favourite annual tennis tournament is back for two glorious weeks <strong>(29 June-12 July)</strong> and if you can&#8217;t get hold of tickets, the next best option is to immerse yourself in all the action by eating a tennis-themed afternoon tea or watching matches on a giant screen from a deckchair, preferably with a glass of Pimm&#8217;s in one hand and a pot of strawberries and cream in the other. </p>

<p>Launching&nbsp;on&nbsp;<strong>29&nbsp;June</strong>, the stylish N1 boulevard will be completely transformed into a sun-soaked summer hub, allowing tennis fans to catch every match live from the comfort of deck chairs&nbsp;and vintage furniture seating.&nbsp;To elevate the match-day atmosphere, Islington Square has partnered with&nbsp;<strong>Urban Food Fest</strong>&nbsp;to host exclusive&nbsp;Wimbledon&nbsp;Weekend Markets across two peak tournament weekends:&nbsp;4–5 July&nbsp;and&nbsp;11–12 July&nbsp;between&nbsp;11am &#8211; 5pm.</p>

<p>First to serve is Everyman’s Canalside screens at Granary Square in King’s Cross. Having opened at the end of June, this open-air cinema festival will show Wimbledon daily throughout the tournament and has a list of blockbuster classics lined up for the evenings. </p>

<p>If you’re in it for the &#8216;fits (a woman after my own heart), Covent Garden’s Screens sit snug in the iconic Piazza with the official outfitter of the tournament, Polo Ralph Lauren a quick stroll away. Add in the endless restaurants and bars in the locale, sailor-chic deckchairs, and on-site ice-cold Pimm’s and what&#8217;s not to love?</p>

<p>Taking place every day of the tournament, this is one of the most fun places to pull up a deckchair and soak up the atmosphere of the championships whether you’re a die-hard tennis fan or just in it for the strawberries and cream. Lots of extras here too, from American Express giveaways (including a chance to win tickets to the finals), a vintage Pimm&#8217;s bus and official Wimbledon merch to buy. </p>
