July in London: a time of Pimm’s, beer gardens, sticky tube carriages, carefully thought-out ‘is this appropriate for the office?’ clothing, and gleeful holiday anticipation (even if you know you’re escaping the country during the hottest month of the year).
It’s also a time for a summer highlight in the London calendar: Wimbledon.
For those unable to make it down to bask on Murray Mound with a tub of strawberries and cream, never fear: we’ve rounded up some great spots in the Square Mile to watch Wimbledon in the (hopefully) sun.

One of the most legendary views in the City, now with the added bonus of tennis action!
One New Change is home to a huge range of stores and restaurants, so adding live sports to their roster isn’t much of a stretch. F1 Arcade has a pop-up bar stocked and ready, and no booking is necessary, so drop in at any time.

Just tucked away off Fleet Street in Temple Court is a lovely (and sheltered) spot to catch a Grand Slam in the making.
The best part is they’re not just hosting Wimbledon; if you’re in the market for other sporting events, they’ve got you covered – just remember to reserve your seat!

It’s an atmosphere like no other in this buzzing square – save this spot for the really tense matches.
You’ll get to keep an eye on St Paul’s and bring some of the incredible food choices in the area so you can settle in and be truly immersed in the matches.

This one is for the true city workers, there’s capacity for up to 500 people to watch the games, giving you the perfect opportunity to sneak out of the office and blend into the crowd.
There are games every Monday to Friday, meaning you’ll find at least one chance to take a very long lunch.
Fleet Place
Fleet Place KERB Food Market
Fleet Place has been a breakout location over the last year!
Their pop-up KERB street food markets every Tuesday to Thursday are wildly popular, bringing people together, so it should be no surprise that it’s also a great place to come together for tennis action!
