The Queens Club - SOLD
The Lawn Tennis Association has put The Queen's Club in Palliser Road, West Kensington, up for sale, by way of a long lease (120 years).
The LTA is relocating its headquarters by early 2007 to its new state-of-the-art tennis academy, the National Tennis Centre, currently under construction in Roehampton.
The Club will be sold on the basis that it will retain a rackets club and that the Stella Artois Grass Court Championships or any future tournament remains unaffected. The proceeds of the sale will be re-invested in the long-term development of British tennis.
The Club, with a unique sporting heritage, boasts 29 outdoor Lawn Tennis courts - of which 13 are among the finest grass courts in the world, eight are shale and clay, four plexi and four artificial grass – 10 indoor Lawn Tennis courts, two Real Tennis courts, two Rackets courts, three squash courts, a gymnasium and a physiotherapy suite. The Club also offers excellent hospitality facilities, including a restaurant, cafe, museum, and President's Room - all located within the Members' Clubhouse.
John Crowther, Chief Executive of the LTA said: "Moving to our new National Tennis Centre is an integral part of our plans for finding and developing future British tennis champions. We want to ensure that Queen’s Club continues in its role as one of the most prestigious tennis and racket sports clubs in the country and to host the Stella Artois tournament each June."
The LTA has appointed Gerald Eve and HLL Humberts Leisure as joint agents.
