About Barnes Sports Club
Barnes Sports Club is a well-established sports complex situated on Lonsdale Road in the heart of Barnes, SW13. Serving members and guests across the local community, the club offers cricket, a convivial bar and social facilities within the Riverside building, and a venue that accommodates private events. Open seven days a week, it combines active sporting life with a warm, inclusive atmosphere that reflects Barnes’s strong village identity. Wheelchair accessible and family-friendly, it is a genuine gathering place for residents of Barnes and the wider Richmond upon Thames borough.
Local area
Barnes has long nurtured the kind of community institutions that larger neighbourhoods lose — and Barnes Sports Club sits squarely within that tradition. Its cricket ground on Lonsdale Road is part of the fabric of a village that still turns out for shared events and values places where people meet as much as they compete. Within the broader Richmond upon Thames borough, which has a rich sporting heritage and strong appetite for outdoor leisure, the club offers something increasingly precious: a proper local venue that belongs to its community rather than to a chain.
Why choose Barnes Sports Club
For residents who value a local sporting and social venue with genuine roots in the community, Barnes Sports Club offers a rare combination of active facilities and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The cricket ground is a particular draw — intimate and well-kept — while the bar in the Riverside building makes it equally worthwhile for those who prefer the social side of club life. The club is open daily, wheelchair accessible, suitable for families, and able to host private occasions, making it a versatile and reliable choice throughout the year.
