Which parks in Southwark have public tennis courts?

Eight: Dulwich Park, Belair Park, Honor Oak Recreation Ground, Burgess Park, Brunswick Park, Southwark Park, Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park and Tanner Street Park. The council lists all eight as bookable online, and the table above carries the booking link for each.

How far ahead can you book a tennis court in Southwark?

Seven days, with the new day's slots released at 8pm each evening. Southwark also limits you to one booking per day, of either thirty minutes or an hour, so a group that wants a longer session needs to plan around that rather than stacking slots.

Are any of Southwark's tennis courts floodlit?

The council flags two: Burgess Park and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park, the park beside the Imperial War Museum. Lighting is not stated for the other six sites, so we have left it unrecorded rather than guessing, and it is worth checking the booking page before you take a winter evening slot.

Tennis in Southwark

No clubs on Courting here yet, and eight public court venues across the borough.

Southwark runs its park tennis as one bookable network of eight sites, stretching from Dulwich Park and Belair Park in the south of the borough up to Tanner Street Park behind Bermondsey. They all sit on the same online system, and the council sets the same rhythm everywhere: slots open seven days ahead, released at 8pm each evening, and you get one booking a day of either thirty or sixty minutes.

That is a tidy way to hand out court time. It says nothing at all about who is standing on the other side of the net, which is the part that actually decides whether the hour was worth having. Courting takes both halves together for Southwark clubs: it holds the booking, puts a group of comparable Form on it, and keeps a club night rotating so nobody spends the evening watching.
