What to do 

So you’ve come for the tennis but don’t have a ticket? Fear not, because every year, hundreds of tickets for the tournament are sold on the day. You just have to arrive early and be willing to queue. We recommend joining the queue before 6.30am to secure seats on a good court. If that seems little early for you, then take a seat on the famous Henman Hill in Wimbledon and enjoy watching the world-class tennis on the big screen. Remember to bring champagne and a picnic to really fit in with the locals.

Strawberries and cream is the most iconic food that’s eaten at Wimbledon, often washed down with Champagne, but when you’re not watching the tennis there are so many delicious things to eat. From the best cupcakes in London if you have a bit of a sweet tooth, to the best breakfasts and brunches in London. While you’re in the UK you should enjoy a great British tradition and hunt down a Sunday roast.
