Tennis & a Pint

20 public London courts with 40 curated after-match pubs - walk minutes included. Rank the court fairly, then finish at the pint.

Two stops. Court first, pint second.

The tennis group chat usually starts with whoever lives nearest a Clubspark park. FairWhere flips that: rank the court for every journey, book the slot, then walk to a pub we've already shortlisted for that court.

This Activity Pair ranks courts for your group in the Occasion Planner, then offers curated pubs a short walk from each court - typically 115 minutes on foot. Prefer browsing first? The catalogue below lists every court→pub Keep we ship today.

Tennis & a Pint - FAQs

What is Tennis & a Pint?
A two-stop occasion: play on a public London tennis court (stop 1), then walk to a curated nearby pub (stop 2). FairWhere lists court→pub pairs with walk minutes - then you rank which court is fairest for your group before you book.
Are these private members’ clubs?
No. The tennis side is public courts and parks you can book or turn up for. Pubs are ordinary locals and destination pubs within a short walk of the courts.
How were the pubs chosen?
Editorial Keep decisions from a founder pass over nearby pubs for each court. Today we ship 20 courts with 40 primary after-match pubs - typically about 1–15 minutes on foot.
Can FairWhere rank which court is fair for our group?
Yes. Open Plan tennis & a pint, add who’s coming, and FairWhere Score balances journeys to the court - then pick a curated after-match pub for that court.
Is this the same as the London Tennis Courts placelist?
The placelist is the court catalogue with After the match shortlists on each court. Tennis & a Pint is the SEO landing plus Occasion Planner so the whole evening is one decision.
