Welcome
A very warm welcome to Telford Park Tennis Club – an oasis of greenery in the heart of Streatham Hill. Telford Park was founded on 1st August 1880, making it the second oldest Tennis Club in London, preceded only by Wimbledon. Now, it is a thriving club which prides itself on its friendliness and its ability to accommodate members of all ages and abilities. We are home to many senior and junior players, to individuals and whole families. We reach out to local schools. We run an Academy for our most promising juniors and ‘Rusty Racquets’ for our least practised seniors. For everyone in between, we run a full programme of competitive and social tennis all year round. Currently there are 7 hard courts (5 with floodlights) and a brand new clubhouse with beautiful grounds, including the ‘wilderness’ – an ecological haven and perfect picnic spot.
Objectives
Telford Park exists to provide tennis, social and other facilities for the members, as well as ‘pay and play’ opportunities for the general public.
