With Wimbledon kicking off earlier this week, Big Ben’s certainly struck Pimm’s O’Clock. Here are some cracking places in London to get your fix of the nation’s favourite fruity booze.
1. ROKA, Canary Wharf
Taking a Japanese twist on the classic British beverage, ROKA’s Canary Wharf branch are whipping up their Himawari Pimms Cup. The cocktail blends Pimm’s, Shochu, cucumber, mint, shiso and a summer berries soda and serves with an adorable melon tennis balls. The ROKA terrace overlooks the Summer Screens showing Wimbledon in Canada Square Park, which is perfect viewing for any Pimm’s drinker.

2. The London EDITION
From 12:00pm – 11:00pm, 8th to 10th July, the London EDITION will host a pop-up ping pong bar screening Wimbledon and The Euros Cup Final. They’ll not only be serving up quintessentially British Pimms cocktails, but will also have some naughty strawberry and cream alcoholic slushies on offer. (And some sarnie from Berners Tavern to go with them!). Ping pong players can get the courtside feeling as they relax in front of the big screen.

3. Blackheath Commons Foodies Festival
A huge food festival comes to South East London’s Blackheath Common between the 8th and 10th July. Alongside offering a wide range of London’s best street food, they’ll also be serving up cocktails and drinks from the Giant Pimm’s Teapot (!!!) and Mojito Ship. It all sounds like some kind of wonderful dream.
