Local Tennis Leagues The UK home of local park tennis since 2005

Where to play

This league is desgned to suit anyone living or working in west Merton. We expect many matches to be played on the courts at Cottenham Park, but we are plenty of other public courts managed by Merton (see below).

Players may play on any suitable court including those at clubs (if membership rules permiFt) though if not using one of the public facilities listed below, both players should agree to the venue.
