New Balls Please! Watch Wimbledon Canalside in Paddington

Wimbledon matches will be back for 2024 showing on the big screen at Merchant Square and Paddington Central, alongside their summer programmes packed with fun events. Kick back in a deckchair on the lawn at Merchant Square or perch in the newly refurbished amphitheatre in Paddington Central and enjoy!

At Merchant Square fresh strawberries will be available served with cream, ice cream, or silky melted Belgian chocolate. Quintessentially British cocktails and refreshing specials will be served daily from 12 pm - 9 pm during the tournament.

But the fun doesn't stop with being a spectator! Merchant Square has partnered with Game Set Beach - London's premier beach tennis coaching club - to offer coaching sessions and matchplay throughout the summer, including during the Wimbledon tournament.

On selected days during the Wimbledon tournament (3rd - 4th and 10th - 11th July) Game Set Beach will also host free beach tennis activities from 12 pm - 5 pm, including mini-tournaments, serving challenges and fun games open to all ages.

Whether you're a total novice or a seasoned pro, their schedule from 13th April to 1st August has something for everyone, including coached matchplay on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Paying tribute to the iconic event, tennis fans are encouraged to dust off their best tennis legend outfits for a fancy dress competition, with beach tennis giveaways and prizes up for grabs for the best costumes.

No pre-booking is required and deckchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The tennis will be screened everyday between 12 pm – 9 pm (later if the games run over). All children must be accompanied by an adult. You must be over 18 to purchase alcohol and you may be asked for ID to confirm your age. In the case of bad weather, the tennis matches will air but deck chairs will not be available.
