Catch the Final Serve for the Stafford's Wimbledon Tea
Now that pretty much nobody in London cares about the World Cup anymore, it’s time to put those big screen TVs to another use (than hurling abuse at). At the Stafford Hotel, that use would be screening Wimbledon. How very genteel!
But far better than the big screen is the Lawn Tennis Afternoon Tea that they’re serving up with it.
No, it’s not as cute as the ones at the Royal Horseguards and the Dorchester, but at least you’ll have enough savory and fruity stuff here to balance the sugar.

Wimbledon Tea is Getting Served Up at the Royal Horseguards Hotel
Game, set, tea time!
You may not have noticed, what with the World Cup and everyfink, but there is another big sporting thing going on at the moment – and it’s altogether more genteel than burly men running round after a ball.
Yes, people, it’s Wimbledon time. And if you’re in London but too busy glued to the football to make it down to SW19, you can get the feel of it by either switching on the telly with a cup of tea and some strawberries and cream (boring) or popping over to the Royal Horseguards on Embankment for a special Wimbledon tea (much more fun).

The Dorchester's Wimbledon Tea Cooks Up the Cutest Tea Cakes Ever
While the rest of the world is fully in the grips of World Cup fever, London and the snobbier bits of Britain have a side fascination: Wimbledon. And to see watch Venus Williams and Roger Federer run up and down the courts in the world's oldest and most prestigious tennis championships, you can't just go sit at a bar and cheer like with World Cup games. Wimbledon is proper, and you'll find tennis-themed afternoons teas around the city.
The best of them all is at the 5-star Dorchester Hotel at Hyde Park, where even the teacakes dress up in their tennis whites—or rather take the form of tiny green courts and tennis balls.

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

Grosvenor House Offers Up Andy Roddick Plus Strawberries and Cream
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.
