Tennis in Kensington and Chelsea
No clubs on Courting here yet, and four public court venues across the borough.
Kensington and Chelsea is one of London's smallest and most densely built boroughs, and its public tennis comes down to four park sites: Holland Park, Kensington Memorial Park, Avondale Park and Emslie Horniman Pleasance Park. All four run on the borough's own tennis network, managed for the council by Idverde, and all four book online through a single account.
Four sites in a borough this size means court time is genuinely scarce, so a booking that half a group turns up to is a real loss rather than a minor annoyance. Courting protects the hour: the game is put together first, from members who have said they are free, and the court is held for the people who are actually coming.
