What roehampton club does

Roehampton Club is a private members' multi-sports club operating on a 120-acre site on Roehampton Lane in southwest London, twenty minutes by train from Waterloo. Founded in 1901 as a polo and croquet club, the club has evolved over 125 years into one of the UK's most established private multi-sport venues, currently serving approximately 5,000 members. Its core sporting facilities include an 18-hole parkland golf course, 30 tennis courts (including ten grass courts, cushioned acrylic, synthetic clay, indoor acrylic, and two padel tennis courts added in 2021), six glass-backed squash courts, four international-standard croquet lawns (reportedly including the UK's only floodlit croquet lawns), a fully equipped health club with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a fitness studio programme of over 100 classes weekly.

The club operates a tiered subscription membership model (Full Playing, Restricted Full, Tennis, Five Day, Intermediate 18-25, and Junior), with applications requiring proposer and seconder sponsorship, a non-refundable £200 registration fee, and a waiting list averaging at least five years. Ancillary revenue streams include venue hire for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations; a cr\u00e8che for children aged 3 months to 5 years; a Sports Shop run by Matthew Paget Group with Trackman 4 custom fitting; professional coaching across all sports; a Wellbeing Studio with Pure Sports Medicine, skincare, and holistic therapies; and a junior development programme accredited by the LTA, England Squash, Swim England, and England Golf. Distribution is predominantly direct via the website and member referrals, with marketing reinforced through hosting prestigious tournaments such as the European Squash Club Championships.

In August 2025 the club completed a £3 million refurbishment of its Members' Bar, restaurant, function rooms, and garden terrace, designed by DLSM Studio, materially expanding its venue hire and social capacity. The club is member-owned under Roehampton Club Ltd, governed by a Board and led by Chief Executive Marc Newey, with no external institutional shareholders, venture capital, or private equity involvement evident in the available material.
