Wimbledon has once again come and gone for another year but it’s never too early to start thinking about where you might want to watch Wimbledon in London in 2024, especially when there were so many options available in this year.
Below is a summary of the main locations where you could experience the tennis, grab a deckchair, enjoy a few hours of sporting magic, and enjoy the London summer atmosphere in year’s past. Don’t forget your strawberries and Pimm’s, or as we like to call it, summer in a glass!
Where to watch Wimbledon in London | City of London
Screen on the Canal, King’s Cross
Located in Granary Square in King’s Cross is the famous Screen on the Canal, part of free open-air film festival which takes place every summer. Visitors can grab a seat on the steps to Granary Square and enjoy the Wimbledon coverage in the London sunshine (and thankfully there’s been a decent amount this year). Once the live coverage is finished, stay and enjoy the film festival. The best of both worlds!
