A long and storied history
Tennis at St. George's Hill
Our story begins with master builder Walter George Tarrant who acquired the St. George’s Hill land (then woodland) in 1911. His grand vision was to create a residential estate with the target market of Londoners wanting an escape from the city, or those who wanted to live in close proximity to the city whilst enjoying the benefits of the Surrey countryside.
He allocated a 16-acre parcel of land next to Warren Pond on the north-east corner of the estate, to build tennis courts, crocquet lawns and a bowling green.
The first courts opened in 1913 (the very end of the Edwardian era and one of the longest and warmest summers on record), by His Serene Highness Prince Alexander of Teck and wife Princess Alice.
Celebrities have never been far from St. George’s Hill with well-known residents of the estate (past and present) including John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Cliff Richard, Theo Paphitis and sports personalities John Terry, Sue Barker and Jenson Button.
St George’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club is renowned as one of the most prestigious Tennis Clubs in England and is proud to welcome families from Weybridge, Esher, Cobham, Walton, West Byfleet, Leatherhead and surrounding areas.
Members of St George’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club are very much aware of how lucky they are to have such an outstanding Club on a stunning site with such rich heritage and are excited to see what the next 100 years have to offer.
Why play?
Tennis is for everyoneFrom kids aged 3 to grown-ups aged 93 and at every age in between, tennis is a truly wonderful game that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Play singles, doubles, mixed doubles with friends or competitively. The choice is yours.
And with new forms of tennis such as padel arriving on the scene, the choice of tennis styles is increasing all the time.
Good for physical fitnessTennis can be played at a variety of paces to suit any fitness level, from sedate to fast-paced. You could burn off a few hundred calories in one game of tennis.
It’s a great way to improve physical strength, co-ordination, balance and get a cardio workout at the same time.
Fresh air and sunlight are great for health and can boost your mood and self-esteem too.
Good for mental healthTennis is a competitive sport but it’s also a social sport. Played with partners or in pairs, it’s a chance to get to know new people and make new friends. And it’s a way let off steam in a friendly and supportive environment.
Whilst winning tournaments and leagues is not the aim for everyone, competing and challenging yourself in a competitive way can boost confidence and self-esteem.
