London’s Best Big Outdoor Screens To Watch The Wimbledon Tennis In 2026

Wimbledon is winging its way towards us once again, taking over SW19 from Monday 29 June until Sunday 12 July 2026 with high-stakes tennis action across singles, doubles, junior and wheelchair tennis. Bringing with it a slew of special menus, pop-ups and installations, however, it’s perhaps more precise to say Wimbledon fever infects the entirety of London. And as the sun continues to pour its beams across the British capital, there’s no better place to watch the drama unfold than at one of the city’s big outdoor screens.

Spanning the Square Mile and every corner of the capital, these al fresco spots come complete with food and drink pop-ups and enough convivial vibes to live up to Henman Hill, the grassy bank in the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club where Wimbledon goers can enjoy a mammoth screen (aka Murray Mound, Raducanu Rise and, perhaps most creatively, Norrie Knoll).

If you missed out on tickets and don’t fancy braving the infamous Queue, fear not: there are plenty of outdoor screenings taking place across the capital in 2026. Below, we’ve gathered our favourites.

Strawberries & Screen, Chelsea

Chelsea’s beloved al fresco screening of the Wimbledon finals and the men’s semi-finals will return in 2026, running from midday Friday 10 July to Sunday 12 July. Donning the summer-sweet title ‘Strawberries & Screen’, visitors can enjoy one of the city’s biggest free screens accompanied by treats spanning a pop-up bar to an Aesop pop-up. Guests are also welcome to bring a picnic, but on Saturday it’s worth noting that the Fine Food Market will be peddling tempting gourmet street food, artisan produce and sweet treats right next door on Duke of York Square. Better still, little ones can enjoy complimentary tennis lessons from midday to 5pm on the Saturday and Sunday, rackets provided.

• Address: 80 King’s Road, London SW3 4LY
• Dates: Friday 10, Saturday 11 & Sunday 12 July 2026

Everyman On The Canal, King’s Cross

It wouldn’t be summer in London without racing down to Granary Square and squeezing onto the steps that descend into Regent’s Canal to catch an al fresco movie. With the season’s films spanning Wicked, Dune, The Devil Wear’s Prada and plenty more, Everyman’s now-iconic al fresco cinema on the canal will return from 29 June through to 16 August. And what else falls within those dates? Wimbledon, of course. Presented by Rolex, Everyman on the Canal will screen all the unmissable matches live from the Wimbledon Tennis Championships from 29 June to 12 July. Settle into the loungers and beanbags or grab a spot on the steps, grab tasty snacks and drinks from the Everyman menu, and soak up this quintessentially British experience.

Hidden in Bishop’s Square beside Spitalfields Market, tennis fans can find a 188-inch outdoor screen broadcasting the sporting highlights all summer long – and of course this includes Wimbledon.
