The sun is out, London’s stocks of Pimm’s risk running dangerously low and tennis fans are eating their body weight in strawberries and cream. It can mean only one thing – the final weekend of Wimbledon is upon us.
The ladies’ and men’s finals take place on Saturday and Sunday respectively, with the eyes of the sporting world glued to west London this weekend.
Serena Williams is looking to claim her 24th major singles title, while the usual suspects of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are in the frame for the men's final.
These are our picks of the best pubs, sports bars and outdoor screenings showing both matches this weekend. Scroll down for a list of places hosting outdoor screenings – make sure to check out our full guide here.
