There are many ways to enjoy Wimbledon 2025, including joining 'The Queue' or finding your nearest open-air screen showing the action.
Alternatively, treat yourself to one of these ace tennis-themed afternoon teas.
Centre Court-Yard at Ham Yard Hotel, Soho
Not only is the Ham Yard Hotel showing the tennis in its themed 'Centre Court-Yard' outdoor pop-up, it's also, ahem, serving a picnic hamper afternoon tea to enjoy while you watch.
Throughout Wimbledon fortnight (30 June-13 July) book ahead for the special afternoon tea menu, which includes poached and smoked salmon on a seaweed scone, prawn cocktail on herb bread, and a Ham Yard sausage roll, followed by a strawberries and cream baked cheesecake, and Pimm's cup #1 baba. Scones are served with a strawberry and champagne jam. Full menu available here. It's £53 per person, or £65 with a glass of Rathfinny Classic Cuvée 2019, and dished up on the outdoor terrace overlooked by the large screen, so you can watch the action while you indulge.
Wimbledon afternoon tea at the Great Scotland Yard Hotel
Every few months, the five-star Great Scotland Yard hotel switches up its royal-inspired afternoon tea series, The Tea Chronicles. Between 16 June-13 July, a special Wimbledon menu comes to The Parlour, offering a nod to the Royal Family's love of tennis. Expect a summery menu, including a broccoli, rocket and lemon quiche, and a prawn cocktail and avocado roll, as well as scones serves with clotted cream and raspberry and lemon jam. The desserts are where the theme really comes into its own, with a Pimm's and lemon drizzle tea cake; a mango, yuzu and coconut tennis ball; and a strawberry and elderflower cheesecake. Wash it down with Jing teas, or Lavazza coffee (the official coffee brand of Wimbledon). It's priced at £62 per person.
While you're there, take time to have a proper look around the hotel foyer, dripping with references to the building's past as the base of the Metropolitan Police.
After Wimbledon fortnight, the GSY's afternoon tea menu switches to a focus on royal fashion.
Wimbledon afternoon tea at Richmond Hill Hotel
As always at this time of year, the Richmond Hill Hotel offers a Wimbledon themed afternoon tea, inspired by the tournament and served up in the 144 On The Hill restaurant, with its stunning views across Richmond Park and towards the Thames.
The Wimbledon afternoon tea is a traditional affair, traversing classic finger sandwiches and plenty of flavours of strawberries and cream. Available 30 June-30 July, priced at £42 per person, or £80 for two.
Wimbledon afternoon tea at The Stafford London
The Game Bird restaurant and lounge at The Stafford London offers its own take on a Wimbledon afternoon tea, with a menu of seasonal cakes and pastries including a coconut and mango tennis ball, a strawberry and cream tart, and a vanilla and blueberry white mouse (that's not a typo — the hotel features a white mouse in all of its afternoon tea menus as a nod to Nancy Wake, AKA the White Mouse, a Second World War spy who lived in the hotel in her later years).
Finger sandwiches including smoked salmon and coronation chicken, and fresh scones are also on the Wimbledon afternoon tea menu. Available 21 June-13 July, priced at £78 per person. A children's version is available for £50.
