Visit Victorian London and the First Wimbledon Tennis Championships

Meanwhile two brands are just starting to make their mark on the city. Experience the little-known tennis tournament called Wimbledon, and a new Belgian beer being served up to Londoners for the first time — from a brewery known as Artois.

The Time Portal runs from 7-10 July from noon-9.40pm. Tickets cost £13.50 - £18 (including a £1 booking fee) for each 40-minute theatrical experience, including two free drinks. Visitwww.ebplive.co.uk/stellaartois to find out more.
