Tennis clubs without a decade long waiting list

[ConzernedResident]

Does anyone know of any local tennis clubs that don't have an obscene waiting list? 

 

Have tried: North Dulwich LTC, Dulwich Sports Club, Old College Lawn, Camber lawn. 

 

All saying like minimum 2-3 years for a place. If there's anywhere else worth checking, would love to know!

How local? Last time I checked Sydenham Tennis Club had a manageable list

Does it need to be a tennis club specifically? JAGS has a lot of courts.

Tennis got really popular over the COVID period and all the clubs round here ended up with long waiting lists.   Put yourself on the list for all of them anyway, things might move faster than you think, definitely for Dulwich Sports as they may be about to get planning permission to build new courts.  Ask about off-peak membership if you work from home, it's often much easier to get and some clubs will give priority to off-peak members when full places come up.   In the meantime, most of the clubs on your list offer group and individual coaching to non-members with a guest fee.   And sign up for local tennis leagues which organises matches at all levels in the local parks - there's a league for Kennington and Brockwell Parks which is really good and a slightly gentler one for Belair and Dulwich Parks.  I did this for a couple of years and had a lot of fun.   https://www.lta.org.uk/compete/adult/local-tennis-leagues/
