London, 16th June 2025 - Get courtside this summer as Merchant Square brings the drama of Wimbledon to the scenic Paddington Basin with a giant free outdoor screen showing all the action from the famous grass courts.
Free Wimbledon screening every day until late (30th June - 13th July)
Fresh strawberries and cream, plus quintessentially British cocktails
No booking required - just turn up and enjoy
From 30th June - 13th July, tennis fans can grab a perfectly positioned deckchair or picnic spot on the lawn and soak up the thrills of the Championships at the pedestrianised West London square.
No booking is required to watch the world's top players, including defending champions and rising stars, in their bid for glory, with play from 12pm daily on the massive screen by the canal.
Fresh strawberries will be available, served with cream as part of the quintessential Wimbledon experience. British cocktails and refreshing specials will be served daily from 11am - 7pm during the tournament, making it the perfect spot to spend a summer afternoon watching the action unfold.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic to eat al fresco during the screening, or grab food to go from nearby shops and restaurants, including The Lockhouse and Pizza Express. Street food from Merchant Square Food Markets will also be available, along with refreshing drinks.
The waterside location at Paddington Basin offers the ideal setting to enjoy tennis's most prestigious tournament, whether you're a die-hard fan or simply want to soak up the summer sporting atmosphere with friends and family.
Echo Pan, Events Manager at Merchant Square, said: "We're delighted to bring the excitement of Wimbledon to Paddington Basin again this year with our giant outdoor screen. It's the perfect way to enjoy the Championships in the heart of West London, combining world-class tennis with that special Wimbledon atmosphere."
