Ham Polo Club
About this yard
Ham Polo Club occupies a historic site between Richmond Park and the River Thames, just eight miles from Hyde Park Corner. Founded in 1926 as the Ham Common Polo Club, it is the last remaining polo club in Greater London and one of the oldest in the United Kingdom. The club boasts three polo fields, two boarded, a stick-and-ball practice field, an exercise track, and a clubhouse restaurant and bar. The club offers polo tuition at all levels including a Junior Academy for riders aged 15 and under, running on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Riding lessons are available from age four and focus on the fundamentals of polo-style one-handed riding; polo lessons themselves begin at age eight. All tuition is delivered by HPA-qualified instructors. Livery services are also available across 23 acres of managed land.
