Tennis Court Shoot Locations

‘Croydon School’ offers a series of outdoor tennis courts with a no-frills, sports-led look, an ideal location for scenes that need a realistic athletic backdrop.

Surrounded by palm trees and lush planting, it has a luxurious, resort-style feel that works beautifully for fashion and lifestyle campaigns. Meanwhile, ‘Rococo Chateau’ in North West London brings a vintage charm to the mix. Framed by formal gardens and the striking chateau itself, the court adds a touch of stately elegance that’s rare to find in the city.
