London Tennis Courts — Indoor & Outdoor Courts You Can Actually Book
Pay-and-play tennis across London — indoor centres and park courts ranked by fair journey. Filter by indoor, outdoor, floodlit or price band.

London has hundreds of outdoor park courts and a handful of proper indoor centres. The hard part is knowing which ones you can book without a private club — and which one everyone can reach.
The court near you is rarely the fairest court for the group.
How booking works
- ClubSpark / LTA Play — most borough park courts.
- Better — Islington Tennis Centre, New River, many leisure sites.
- Royal Parks Sports & Leisure — Hyde Park, Regent's Park, Greenwich Park (Park Sports handover completed Feb 2026).
- Park Sports — still Chiswick / Lammas / Pitshanger in west London.
- Lee Valley / Dukes Meadows — specialist indoor centres with their own portals.
Filter by indoor for rain, floodlit for after-work, or £ / ££ / £££ if budget matters to the group.
Book before you travel.
A fair journey to a fully booked court is still a wasted journey. Price is a filter and a factor — not a reason we left a good court off the list.
