About us

Hanley Tennis Club, Crouch End Playing Fields, N8 8JJ

Play will resume at Hanley on 29th March. Please ensure that you continue to follow all government rules and LTA guidlines when playing.

The clubhouse may only be accessed to get court keys and balls, to use the toilets and for access to the floodlight controls. Nobody should be in the clubhouse for any other reason and all other areas are off limits, including in particular the kitchen area, so please make sure you bring your own water.

Hanley are grateful to Sports England for awarding a Covid-19 grant to assist in meeting running costs of the club during the lockdown phase of the pandemic. Receipt of £3269 is thankfully acknowledged and assisting Hanley during this difficult time.

We always welcome new players so do get in touch if you want to join - membership@hanleyltc.org.uk

Our club is an especially lovely place to play tennis and we welcome new members at all levels.
We can offer members and their families; coaching , teams and tournaments as well as some of the liveliest social events around. What's more, our membership fees are about a third less than other clubs in the neighbourhood.
We are located in a quiet corner of the Shepherds Cot Trust, otherwise known as the Crouch End Playing Fields. This is a peaceful,undeveloped area of 100 acres surrounded by woodland and is the home of a number of tennis and cricket clubs. Alexandra Palace also provides a spectacular backdrop.See How to find us.

Shale courts
Our shale courts are a bit special. A similar surface to that played on at the French Open, shale courts are now increasingly hard to find and consequently highly prized.
Shale is a great surface for beginners and children, as the ball bounces less fast than on tarmac, and older players find it is kinder to their joints. With our floodlights, specially designed frost covers and court sprinkler system, we aim for all-year-round tennis. For more information see Tennis at Hanley.

The Hanley spirit
Hanley provides a friendly atmosphere for social tennis, and membership is based on mutual respect for other members. The club is a co-operative venture and we do as much as we can ourselves to look after the courts and clubhouse.

Looks familiar
Yes, it's true, Hanley's very own everyman, Sid Caudri, is the star of the LTA's latest 'Go Hit It' advert. Nice one, Sid.

Team news
The Men's (home and away) and Women's (home) team fixtures have now been posted on the Hanley Calendar.
