Wimbledon in London: A Curated Guide from The Lincoln Suites, Covent Garden
Wimbledon season is more than just tennis — it’s a London summer tradition. Whether you’re lucky enough to have Centre Court tickets or simply looking to catch the action in style, the city offers endless ways to experience the tournament.
Here at The Lincoln Suites, in the heart of Covent Garden, we don’t just offer elegant boutique accommodation — we’re part of the neighbourhood. So let us show you how locals do Wimbledon: from hidden screening spots to strawberries-and-cream experiences, all within easy reach of your suite.
Where to Watch Wimbledon (Without the Tickets)
You don’t have to be in SW19 to soak up the Wimbledon magic. Here are some of the best spots around Central London — and a few tucked-away gems we locals love:
1. Covent Garden Piazza
Just a few minutes’ walk from The Lincoln Suites, the historic piazza sets up big screens in the courtyard with deck chairs, Pimm’s, and a buzzy summer atmosphere. Arrive early for prime seating and soak up the energy of the crowd.
2. The Refinery at Bankside
Take a short riverside stroll (or hop on the Tube) to Bankside, where The Refinery screens matches with chic cocktails and a Wimbledon-inspired menu. Think elderflower spritzes, strawberries, and lots of ambiance.
3. Brown Hart Gardens, Mayfair
For something a little quieter, this rooftop-style public space above Duke Street has comfy seating and screens the tournament in an elegant garden setting. A stylish lunchtime escape.
4. The Garden at The Rosewood
A hidden gem just ten minutes from us — Rosewood London’s courtyard turns into a tranquil screening spot with gourmet snacks and elegant cocktails. A luxe take on match day.
Experience Wimbledon Without Leaving Central London
Even if you’re not courtside, the season is still ripe for indulgence. Here’s how we’re celebrating the tournament spirit:
Neal’s Yard Tastings & Pop-ups
The vibrant Neal’s Yard — just around the corner — often joins the Wimbledon festivities with pop-ups and themed tastings. Look out for strawberry-infused gin, tennis-themed treats, and live screens at select venues.
Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum
If you’re keen to visit the home of the tournament itself, we can help you plan the perfect half-day trip. Southfields Station is a direct 30-minute journey from Covent Garden, and a guided tour of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum is a must for fans.
A Covent Garden Stay, Made for Summer
At The Lincoln Suites, we believe the best city stays blend elegance, calm, and connection. Our modern boutique suites offer a stylish haven after a day spent following matches, exploring hidden gardens, or enjoying riverside drinks.
And because we’re locals, we’re here to share more than a map. Want the best seat at a nearby rooftop bar screening the final? Or a last-minute picnic packed for The Hill at Wimbledon? We’ve got you.
