Gyms in Petersham

Below Richmond Hill and its view over the meadows, Petersham's training is polo lessons and golf rather than a gym.

Training in Petersham

Polo, golf and the park.

Petersham has no gym. Ham Polo Club, founded in 1926 beside Richmond Park and Ham House, calls itself London's last remaining polo club and teaches complete beginners through lessons and its Polo Academy. Steve Burridge Golf and the Stage Golfing Society are the other names on the list, and Richmond Golf Club plays in Sudbrook Park.

Petersham Meadows sit below the view from Richmond Hill, and Pembroke Lodge is in the Petersham part of Richmond Park, so a run over the hill is the obvious session to share with a training partner. Ranelagh Harriers are based behind The Dysart.
