Wimbledon on the big screen returns to Lyric Square this summer

Fans of grass-court tennis who don't have a Centre Court ticket — and that's most of us — will be pleased to hear that the big screen is coming back to Lyric Square in Hammersmith this summer. The council has confirmed that live Wimbledon coverage will be shown outdoors in the square, giving residents a free, sociable way to catch the action without fighting over a television.
Lyric Square is a short walk from Hammersmith tube station, making it easily reachable from across Fulham and the wider borough. It has hosted outdoor screenings in previous summers and tends to draw a lively crowd for marquee sporting events.
Wimbledon 2026 runs from late June into early July, so it is worth keeping the dates in your diary if you enjoy watching sport al fresco. The council has not yet published a full schedule of screening times, so it is worth checking the LBHF events page for updates as the tournament approaches.
Entry to public screenings of this kind is typically free, though the square's nearby bars and cafés are usually well placed for refreshments on the day.
