Kensington & Chelsea

The best leisure centre in Chelsea is the aptly named Chelsea Sports Centre which has been recently refurbished to a high standard. Kensington Leisure Centre has a 20m teaching pool with mobile floor, an eight-court multi-use sports hall, two Squash courts and two fitness studios. Parks in K & C are harder to come by, but Holland Park has cricket nets, tennis courts, a cricket pitch, 11 a side football pitches and even golf nets. Emslie Horniman's Pleasance
is home to two 5 a side and one 7 a side floodlit Astroturf pitches whilst Avondale Park also has a floodlit 5 a side football pitch for hire.

Not to be discounted are some of the schools in Kensington & Chelsea as some of these have facilities for hire. Chelsea Academy and Holland Park schools are very good examples with sports hall and state-of-the-art 3G football pitches. St Luke's Gardens also has two hidden 5 a side football pitches with floodlights. So whilst Kensington & Chelsea isn't inundated with parks and open spaces, there are still plenty of facilities and activities taking place within the borough.
