Set in a unique wooded clearing in the centre of Muswell Hill, this friendly club combines a good standard of general play with teams ranging in ability up to the Middlesex Premier League and extends a warm welcome to any tennis player.
History
The Muswell Hill Methodist Tennis Club was founded in 1920 by Guy Chester in the grounds of his then home North Bank House. The original courts were traditional shale and moved to their current site in the mid 80s to allow the sheltered housing to be built.
The dedication of a small team of hard-working volunteers led by Lorraine Fox as Secretary and Mike Lee as Treasurer, and ably supported by our coach Joe Anan, ensures that the Club maintains its position as one of the most successful London tennis clubs of the last decade.
The tranquil landscaped grounds continue to provide a wonderful setting for tennis in North London. Add to this, top quality floodlights and the best standard of astroturf surface on our 3 courts (new August 2000), along with one all-weather court (new May 2010) and you will see why we are now probably the best little tennis club in North London. We stay true to our local roots whilst catering for all standards of player from beginners to premier league level.

Playing
We have three high quality, medium speed, astroturf courts which are floodlit for play up to 9:30pm all year round, and we now have one newly-surfaced all-weather court, also floodlit. We have four club sessions every week (Saturday and Sunday afternoons, as well as Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings) at which we provide balls, and lighting when needed, at no charge. There is of course ample time for booking courts for play with other club members via the booking sheet in the Clubhouse. We also offer an extensive and varied range of internal and external competitive tennis, with an annual Club Tournament as well as 4 mens and 3 ladies teams in the Middlesex summer league.
