Wimbledon, one of the world’s most prestigious tennis tournaments, draws crowds from all over London and the world, bringing endorsements from brands like American Express, Champagne Lanson, Rolex and Ralph Lauren. It’s known to be one of the most sought-after tennis events—and it’s not just because of the beloved strawberries and cream dessert (although it would make complete sense if that were the case).
To commemorate Wimbledon, restaurants, bars and hotels around London have launched a whole slew of tennis-inspired programming. On the grounds, there are incredible onsite offerings, too. From fun Wimbledon afternoon tea experiences to tennis-themed cocktails, here are some of the best places to eat and drink in London for Wimbledon 2025.
