Currently the club has 2 courts that are floodlit and these are available to members up till 9.00pm every day.  There is no additional charge for use of these lights.  The club has recently been granted planning permission to upgrade these lights with a superb standard ‘retractable’ system to 4 courts and work is due to commence on installation in the very near future. Watch the latest news quick link for updates.

The club is situated in the middle of the Gidea Park conservation area and as such is very secluded and offers perfect peace and tranquillity for playing or watching tennis. We have an extremely warm and welcoming bar lounge that is separate from the main hall but is connected via 2 pairs of double doors that can be removed for social functions.  The bar has a full license and sells draft and bottled beers plus a full range of wine and spirits, all of which are at prices much cheaper than in local pubs.  We have a 7 foot pool table in the bar which is very popular, along with darts, table football and table tennis in the main hall. There is also a full kitchen along with separate ladies’ and men’s changing rooms and showers.

The club has a very quiet public highway on three sides with the entrance approximately in the centre on the Gidea Avenue boundary (see aerial view  by selecting Satellite on the map page).  Members and guests are encouraged to park on the ‘clubhouse side’ of the road which can accommodate up to 28 cars quite comfortably.  There are no parking restrictions and parking is possible 24/7.

Public Transport

The club is a one minute walk from Main Road, Romford which is a main bus route with services throughout Havering.  The club Is also approximately half a mile from Gidea Park Station which is on the Liverpool St/Southend Line.  .

      The club has 7 courts in total, 3 of which have a flexible acrylic surface with the other 4 having

       top quality synthetic grass.  The courts are laid out with a central clubhouse (see aerial view by

       selecting satellite on the map page) with the 3 acrylic courts on one side and the 4 grass on the

       other.  The large panoramic windows of the clubhouse offer viewing of all courts from both the

       bar lounge and main hall area.  All of the courts are surrounded by a dense 4 metre high hedge

       which gives perfect visibility for striking the ball along with increased protection from the elements

       on windy days for both players and spectators.

The 4 artificial grass courts were newly laid in 2007 and are lovely to play on.  They are a dense carpet filled with very fine sand which provides a superb playing surface that is both very forgiving on the muscles and joints whilst also being very ‘true’. They are the most popular courts for general club play. They also offer superb drainage and play can take place immediately even after the most torrential rainstorm with.  They are also unaffected by frost and are very slip resistant in winter.

Acrylic Courts

These 3 courts are a smooth type of surface with an integrated rubber beneath the surface. They offer a 100% consistent bounce and are recognised as being the most ‘true’ of all playing surfaces.  Almost all club matches are played on these 3 courts.
