As traditional as cream and strawberries are the large screens that pop up around London showing the Wimbledon tennis matches during the summer.
As you might expect, seats tend to get grabbed fast for the big matches, but you’ll often be able to sit on the floor or grass, so bring a rug.
The ones I have found so far are below. If I’ve missed any, add them to the comments at the bottom of this page. Thanks.
