About the centre

The Islington Tennis Centre was opened in 1989 with three indoor and three outdoor courts as part of the Lawn Tennis Association’s Indoor Tennis Initiative. This programme set out to build indoor tennis courts up and down the country that were open to the public on a “Pay & Play” basis. It soon became apparent that the indoor courts were a great success, attracting players of a variety of standards and from a wide range of backgrounds.

Following a successful lottery bid in 1999, the new Islington Tennis Centre reopened in April 2000. Now with six indoor courts and two outdoor courts the quality and quantity of tennis provision in Islington has improved immensely. In addition to tennis facilities, the development included a 50 station gym, an aerobics studio and a sauna and steam suite.

The tennis initiative has shown success with Anna Keothavong, who started playing tennis here in 1989, now ranked number 1 in the UK and 96 in the world!

The Islington Tennis Centre now manages all football bookings at Market Road, Whittington Park and Rosemary Gardens.

The centre was built on the site of the old Caledonian Cattle Market. Nearby is the Grade II listed Clock Tower built in 1855.
