2. The Alexandra
A firm favourite for tennis fans, soak up the great British summer and go ‘Alex fresco’ at The Alexandra. Located within walking distance to the tennis club, the pub will be getting into the swing of things with broadcasts of all the matches throughout as well as on the alfresco terrace, with Sipsmith taking over St Mark’s Place with a street party. For food, look no further than chin-dribbling burgers from the Burger Shack.

3. The Hand in Hand
Paying homage to manicured lawns, catch a taste of the action at the Hand in Hand in the heart of Wimbledon Village. Watch the matches on one of its six TVs or head outside to the pop-up Tree Bar serving Sipsmith gin spritz, Camden Hells and wines. Just a stone’s throw from the common, there is no better space to soak up the tennis fever.
