Uol Tennis Courts Cartwright Gardens

Cartwright Gardens hosts outdoor hard tennis courts set inside a historic Georgian crescent in Bloomsbury, maintained for University of London students and the wider public. Popular with local residents, university staff, and nearby office workers, the site delivers straightforward pay-and-play access right in the city centre. The courts feature hard macadam surfaces that produce a consistent bounce, well-suited for fast-paced singles rallies or weekend doubles fixtures. Enclosed by tall perimeter chain-link fencing and framed by mature London plane trees, the venue offers a focused sporting environment within Zone 1. Bookings are handled via an online court reservation system, enabling players to secure standard hourly slots without committing to expensive annual memberships. It remains a practical, functional ground for regular baseline practice, lunchtime hits, and evening recreational matches within walking distance of King's Cross.
