Connaught Tennis Squash & Bowls Club
Sporting Club in London
The Connaught Club is located in a pretty position deep in the middle of Epping Forest on the borders of Essex and the borough of Waltham Forest. Historical research has shown that the original courts belonged to The Royal Forest Hotel and The Connaught was set up as an independent club in 1885. The club has gone through a number of changes over its 123 year history. It was originally formed as The Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. In 1910 the Bowls Section was introduced with the laying of a bowls green in place of a concrete tennis court. In 1939 the croquet section was disbanded and in 1970 the club responded to the boom in the game of squash by starting the Squash Section.

History
read moreSituated deep in the heart of Epping Forest by the tranquil waters of Warren Pond, the Club has evolved from its early beginnings in 1885 as a humble leisure facility providing tennis and croquet for the Royal Forest Hotel, to a proud, vibrant, independent members Club which we see today. Green Bowling was introduced in 1909, but 1945 sadly saw the demise of the Croquet Section. In response to the squash boom of the 1970's the Club built four courts in 1971 and with commendable forethought, erected two permanent indoor tennis courts in 1987.
