The Queen’s Club Championships, sponsored by HSBC, are two weeks of grass-court tennis at a private club in West Kensington each June: a women’s tournament first, then the men’s, both 500-level tour events and both a warm-up for Wimbledon. A ground pass costs less than £50 and opens every court except the main arena, while the arena itself runs to more than £200 a seat. The men’s arena sells out first.
What the Queen’s Club Championships actually is
Queen’s is one of the longest-running grass-court tournaments in the world, held since the nineteenth century, and for decades it was a men’s event. A women’s tournament returned to the club recently, so it now runs for two weeks, the women’s draw first and the men’s straight after it.
It is the main grass-court warm-up in London. The best players use it to find their footing on grass before Wimbledon, and the setting is very different: a members’ club in a residential street, with temporary stands round the main court.
The club has twelve grass courts among its thirty-eight, and during the tournament matches and practice spread across them, so a ground pass shows a lot of tennis at close range.
Where to watch the Queen’s Club Championships
- The Andy Murray Arena. The main court, called Centre Court until it was renamed. An arena ticket is an allocated seat there and also opens every other court.
- Court 1. Unreserved seating, first come, first served, for both arena and ground ticket holders. It fills quickly on busy days.
- The outside and practice courts. Included with a ground pass. Early in each week, when the draws are full, this is where most of the tennis is.
Tickets and what it costs
Tickets are sold through the LTA’s own ticket shop, on general sale since the autumn, with a maximum of six per person per day and mobile tickets held in the LTA Courtside app.
Prices climb through each week. A ground pass tops out at £16 on the women’s opening days and £26 at the weekend, and at £40 on the men’s first days, falling to £16 on men’s final day, when only the finals are played. Arena seats for the women’s week run to £150 at the start and £230 for the quarter-finals. The men’s arena was already sold out by mid-November.
Children under five are not allowed into the stands.

Getting there
The club has two entrances. Most ticket holders use Palliser Road, nearest Barons Court on the District and Piccadilly lines; arena seats in blocks 19 to 23 use the Perham Road entrance, nearest West Kensington on the District line. Neither station has step-free access; the nearest with lifts are Hammersmith, Kensington Olympia and West Brompton.
Buses 9, 10, 27, 28, 74, 190, 295 and 391 run nearby. There is no spectator parking and no bike parking inside the grounds; the nearest cycle stands are in Margravine Gardens by Barons Court.
Mistakes worth avoiding
Bringing a camera with a detachable lens
Cameras and recording equipment with interchangeable lenses are not allowed in, under the tournament’s rules.
Taking cash for lunch
The venue is cashless. Bring a card or a phone, and a refillable bottle for the free water stations.
Heading for the wrong gate
Arena blocks 19 to 23 enter on Perham Road, everyone else on Palliser Road. Check the block on your ticket before choosing Barons Court or West Kensington.
