Welcome to our friendly club

We are open to everyone! Come and join us to play tennis all year round on 6 carpet courts by the river in Barnes. Whatever your standard – whether you’re a beginner, improver or match player - the club offers great facilities in pleasant surroundings.  Members can take advantage of free group adult group coaching sessions throughout the year – a great way to build confidence in your game and to meet people of your own standard. 

It's the taking part that counts

As well as social play throughout the year, members can take part in  club tournaments and Surrey LTA League and Cup matches against other clubs. We also arrange a number of friendly social tournaments and other events throughout the season.  If you are interested in joining us or would like to find out more about the club, please email thamesidetennis.membership@gmail.com.

History

The Civil Service Lawn Tennis Club had a long history at Dukes Meadows starting in 1926. We often welcomed professional tennis players, such as Maria Sharapova and  Vijay Amritraj warming up on our grass courts for Wimbledon or Queen's, as well as hosting junior qualifying events for Wimbledon.  In Autumn 2019 we moved to the peaceful, riverside environs of St.Paul's school sports ground. Originally for the use of civil servants only, Thameside Tennis (formerly CSLTC) can now welcome all public sector workers and people from the local community to play on our superb courts.
