The Club

The Grafton Club is probably Balham, Streatham and Clapham's best-kept secret -- it is a green oasis in South West London. We welcome tennis and squash players of all standards and age groups, and are very family-oriented with strong junior sections and good standard county teams.

We offer 8 all weather floodlit tennis courts in a tree-lined, green space with a garden area and patio, 3 high-spec squash courts, fully-stocked bar, online booking system, changing rooms, large clubhouse and car park.

We adhere to a strict equality policy and maintain the club to ensure a safe environment.

We are easily accessible: 3 minutes’ walk from Nos 50 and 255 bus stops, 15 minutes from Streatham Hill station or 15-20 minutes from Clapham South tube and have a large car park. Grafton Squash Club Location

Junior Squash Programme

A successful junior squash programme has run at the Grafton for the past four years with coaches Graeme Hogarth (ESR level 1 and organiser) and Duncan Marlow (ESR level 2). We meet on Saturdays (in term time) from 4:00-5.30pm and have players of all abilities and ages (currently from 8-18). We try and have a mix of technical development and fun games, often having handicapped tournaments so that players of all standards can play one another. At the advanced level, some of our players represent Lambeth at the London Youth Games.

Sessions are open to both members and non-members and work on a pay and play basis (currently £5 per session). We provide rackets, safety goggles, balls and chocolate biscuits so come along and get introduced to a life-long hobby.
