Middlesex University Real Tennis Club
Middlesex is unique compared to other universities - we are fortunate to have our very own Real Tennis Court. The state of the art 'Milennium Court' was gifted to the University by the Luck-Hille foundation back on 2000. Most people have not heard of the game before, but in fact it is where the orignal game of lawn tennis was invented. If you would like to learn the game or simply have a go, then come down to the court for a taster session.
