This 1981 photograph captures the social side of the Wimbledon tennis championships, with the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis Club laid out in summer with rows of green parasols, temporary hospitality structures and crowds moving between the seating areas. Searchable details include the refreshment counters signed Champagne & Prawns Bar and Strawberries & Cream, both of them strongly associated with Wimbledon’s long-established mix of sport and garden-party atmosphere. The scene is filled with period dress, folding chairs and open-air tables, while the trees and lawns beyond help place the setting firmly within the leafy edge of south-west London. Rather than the tennis itself, this is a strong record of the championships as a social occasion in the early 1980s, showing the catering terraces and public concourse that were just as much a part of the Wimbledon experience as Centre Court.
