Singles, Bring Your A-Game to 'Singledon' at Andaz London

Where: 40 Liverpool Street, London, United Kingdom, EC2M 7QA

Ha! The dating game. So tough. But when you're victorious, you feel like you just won Wimbledon. Or maybe we could make some sort of analogy about mixed doubles and double mixed drinks or something here?

Onward: The Hyatt Andaz London is hosting a free singles event this summer (June 28th) in their Gallery space — which will be converted to an English country garden (indoor grass, flowers, trees, etc.) — for "Singledon." You know, like Wimbledon. For singles. Ha!

Forget Federer and Ivanovic...If you're lucky enough to be catching the Wimbledon tournaments in London, maybe you're also lucky enough to be staying at The Milestone, voted #1 for service by Travel & Leisure.

Grosvenor House Offers Up Andy Roddick Plus Strawberries and Cream

Where: 86-90 Park Lane, London, United Kingdom, W1K 7TN

We usually become tennis fans right around the time Andy Roddick hits the court, so today -- the day of his first-round appearance -- we sought out this Wimbledon hotel package for the semifinals and finals just in case we want to go see our favorite boy kicking ass over there. (Er, if he makes it that far).

Forbes reports that The Grosvenor House Hotel is offering up five nights (and breakfasts!) plus:

a seven-day London sightseeing pass, which allows complimentary entry at attractions including the Tower of London and Windsor Castle; and a ticket to the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum. Of course, the Centre Court Debenture ticket--for both the semifinals and finals--is what makes it all worthwhile. While you're watching the match, you'll also have access to the Debenture lounge, where there will be plenty of strawberries and cream to feast on.

Strawberries and cream. Andy Roddick. Oh, the possibilities...

Price per person starts around $4400 and can be booked through Sports in Style.

London's Swinging Hotel Scene: Break Out Your Tennis Whites

This week we are focusing on the latest news and reviews on the London Hotel Scene. We'll be looking at budget hotels, Wimbledon hotels, The Concert for Diana hotels and more. So if you've got a London hotel story or query, then c'mon now--fill us in.

The Wimbledon Tournament has begun again and if you're a tennis fan looking to study the pro's precise volleys and high-speed serves, then you should have booked a hotel a long time ago.

Not only is Wimbledon a major sporting event which means hotels sell out fast, it's also located in the suburbs of London and the only options are small B&Bs or budget hotel chains. And these are the first to go.

There's also no easy way to get there. The nearest tube stop is the Southfields station and that's still a 15-minute walk from the stadium, so says the TripAdvisor Insider guide to Wimbledon.

Nevertheless, we'll sum up some hotel options for when you go next year.
