The first championship event at Wimbledon dates back to 1877, but the first Ladies' Singles championship was only introduced in 1884.

For more information contact London Notting Hill Carnival Ltd on 08700 59 1111 ( weekdays 9am to 6pm).. Where is it? Notting Hill

3. The Avenue - London Restaurant

About the Restaurant: A favourite with the inhabitants of St James, The Avenue produces good Modern British and Mediterranean food but wisely does not attempt to compete with its illustrious neighbours, Pétrus and L'Oranger. As a result this minimalist restaurant is good value and always packed, despite a sometimes patchy service. The best tables are towards the back, on the mezzanine level. Set menus are usually excellent, and competitively priced, and quality wines are available by the glass. Open daily for lunch and dinner.. Where is it? 7-9 St James's Street

4. La Poule au Pot - London Restaurant

About the Restaurant: Although only a few minutes walk from Sloane Square, this charming restaurant could just as easily be in Paris or Provence, rather than in Pimlico Village. La Poule au Pot is one of those delightfully un-hip restaurants that guarantees a superb dining experience. The restaurant is cosy and warm and the food is true to traditional French cuisine - wholesome and unpretentious. The portions are generous and their fragrance floods your tongue before it rests on it. All this makes up for the absolute 'Frenchness' of the service, whose arrogance is a reminder that, even in the most pleasurable of experiences, we must endure a little pain. With its chicken wire room dividers and huge baskets of dusty bread and dried flowers, not to mention the chipped and mismatched crockery, La Poule au Pot is a favourite with locals. Open daily for lunch and dinner.. Where is it? 231 Ebury Street (Pimlico)
