London
London doesn't really have an off-season for sport. Wimbledon takes over Centre Court every summer, and it's still the tournament every player wants to win most, fortnight in, fortnight out, for over a century. A few miles south, the Oval and Lord's host Test cricket at its most historic: India's tourists come through, and the Ashes isn't far behind. The city makes the time between matches easy too. Walk from Centre Court to the West End for dinner. Turn a cricket rest day into an actual day out instead of a dead afternoon in a hotel room. Maybe you've already got a ticket. Maybe you just like that there's always something on. Either way, London has centuries of history sitting on nearly every street you'll walk down to get there.
