According to the application paperwork, the Hurlingham Club is a private social and sports club situated in 42 acres of landscaped grounds near the River Thames.
It is recognised as “one of the world’s finest private member clubs” and, since opening in 1869, has offered croquet and tennis lawns, botanical gardens and has a stately Georgian Clubhouse to members. It is considered the birthplace of polo.
Grade II listed Hurlingham House is the main mansion which houses club rooms, restaurants, offices and gym spaces as well as indoor tennis courts, pickleball and padel courts and an indoor pool.
Membership reportedly costs £1,400 per year. It also has a closed membership list, which is reviewed just once a year.
