Don't miss out on the opportunity to watch Wimbledon on the big screen! It's that time of year again – London's iconic summer staple tennis tournament is back. And if you're wondering where to catch all the action, we've got you covered. From the picturesque King's Cross with its iconic canal-side green-steps to the vibrant Chelsea with its giant tennis ball decorations, there are plenty of options to choose from. And for those looking for a more low-key experience, head to the Power Station Park in Battersea or Metropolis London in Vauxhall. And if you're in the mood for some cocktails, make sure to visit Langan's Brasserie in Mayfair for their new "Sidecourt Sour" or The Refinery Bankside in Waterloo for their large outdoor screen.
Now, let's move on to the best places to eat this week. Start your afternoon in the West End with a dazzling afternoon tea at The Lane. Not only will you be treated to delicious treats, but you'll also be supporting a good cause as £1 from every tea sold goes to Diversity Role Models. And what better way to celebrate Pride Month than with afternoon tea in a West End theatre?
Feeling fancy? Try out Jackson Boxer's new Parisian-inspired restaurant, Henri. With its unique take on classic Parisian dishes and a carefully curated drink menu, this haut-brasserie-meets-gastro pub is the perfect spot for a special occasion or a fancy lunch. The interior is just as impressive as the menu, with its wood paneling, velvet, and leather decor.
And since it's Ice Cream Month, we couldn't resist including some of our favorite ice cream spots. From Mama Anita's traditional gelato with over 150 flavors to choose from to the wacky and wonderful flavors at Ice Cream Project (including Heinz Beanz and Branston Piccalilli), there's something for everyone. And for a more unique experience, head to Pastaio x Soft n Swirly in Soho, where you can enjoy a cherry soft serve while supporting a good cause.
And last but not least, we have to mention Grape & Fig – London's first build-your-own charcuterie board pop-up. Located just off Oxford Street, this is the perfect spot for a girls' dinner. Simply start with an empty box and fill it with your choice of nuts, cheese, fruits, crackers, and more. And the best part? They'll pack it for you so it looks as good as it tastes.
