About Pensford Tennis Club
Pensford Tennis Club (PTC) was founded in 1990 and leases part of a small site in the middle of a residential area of Pensford Avenue, Kew from Richmond Council. An Environmental Trust occupies the remainder of the site.
The amenities of the Club have greatly improved over recent years, with a new pavilion and clubhouse, completed in 2002, a sixth court, completed in 2003, floodlighting on two courts installed in 2004 and carpet laid on three courts in 2005.
