Any outdoor basketball hoops near bayswater/queensway?

Hello everyone,

I just moved to london 2 weeks ago and will be staying for approximately 6 months. I live close to bayswater and queensway stations and am wondering if there are any outdoor basketball hoops or basketball courts around? Preferably safe and pretty close to my area. I googled this today but only found one near royal oak station under a certain highway. It did however not seem anywhere safe to go after work! I just want to shoot some hoops and don't really care about if there are other guys playing (playing pickups is just a bonus).

So is this dream place of mine existing? :)

With regards,
alseca

Good question! I can't recall seeing any in that part of London. The problem with outdoor parks with facilities in central London is that they'll tend to be hotspots for groups of people you probably don't want to be spend too long around!

I'd try an indoor leisure/sports centre instead.

These have basketball facilities:

Somerston Community Sports Centre in Camden

Reebok Sports Club, Canary Wharf

Westway Sports Centre, North Ken

T47 near London Bridge

This college also appears to have a court:

St Patrick's International College, Soho

Not exactly what you asked for but I hope that's of some use.
