The Regents Park

The Regent's Park is the largest grass area for sports in Central London and offers a wide variety of activities, as well as an Open Air Theatre, the London Zoo and many cafes and restaurants.

Henry VIII appropriated The Regent's Park for use as a hunting ground, which he considered to be an invigorating ride from Whitehall Palace. At that time, the only boundaries were a ditch and a rampart. Were he here today, Henry would hardly recognise the stylish gardens and sports fields that now stand in its place.

We have x10 11-a-side pitches and x6 7-a-side pitches in the Regents Park. There are a further four pitches available on the adjacent Primrose Hill that we may use if needed.

The pitches are turf and were re-laid in 2005 and are of a high quality, supporting many local league fixtures throughout the year. The changing facilities at the Regents Park (known as The Hub) were built in 2006 and boast impressive and modern facilities for team changing, separate referees changing area, disability access as well as lockers for hire.

The Hub also has the ability to host conferences & meetings by means of a simple conversion of the two largest changing rooms into one large chamber.

The Regents Park has many public transport links and will make the Championships one of the most accessible. There is Pay and Display Parking along Chester Road on the Outer Circle and Inner Circle, between 0900 and 1830 everyday.

During the tournament the fields will be monitored to ensure that the assignation of matched provides optimum rest for each pitch, also ensuring the safety of the participants.

The Division One finals will be played at a football league stadium. We have agreed permission with Leyton Orient FC to use their Matchroom Stadium in East London.
