Update Spring 2026
New plans for a café on the Fields!
After the cancellation of previous plans for a replacement to the Oasis cafe, the council has announced new plans. The council says: “The new facilities will be thoughtfully designed to add to the character of Highbury Fields. We will be sharing more detailed designs in the Summer at public information events.” For more information, see the council website here.
Quick court finder…
A local player has created a court locater app designed to quickly show vacant courts across multiple Islington tennis sites. It is free to use and once you have located an available court it links to the usual booking source. See:

If you can’t find a court on Highbury Fields you could try nearby Tufnell Park, Rosemary Garden and of course, the Islington Tennis Centre and Gym.
The Steering Group was set up in early 2012 in response to changes in the management of the tennis courts at Highbury Fields. We wanted the tennis professionals and the user groups who have made this such a strong tennis venue to have the chance to have their voices heard collectively and individually.
The group now has an active role in the management of tennis on the Fields.
This site provides basic information about tennis on the Fields with links to the various organisations providing tennis services.
