Review : Recently resurfaced and flood lit this outside court is centrally located just two minutes away from Liverpool Street train and tube stations. It is ideal for lunchtime, after work matches or practice sessions. Casual bookings can be made three weeks in advance. Money needs to be paid up front by cash or cheque to the Vicar.
There small hut next to the court that players can change in. It is a bit chilly in the winter so it’s worth advising your players to come ready dressed to play. There are no toilet facilities, however, there is a pub next door.
The court is very popular with City based netball teams throughout the year. Due to the high demand for both tennis and netball this may be one of the most expensive outside courts in the country. It can be a struggle to book the court for one off sessions and to block book. It’s worth booking as far in advance as possible.
