What people hire it for

A Real Basketball Court, Not A Set

Authentic sports halls are hard to find in central London, and harder still to find empty. This one is ours to programme, so it can be handed over clean, dressed and exclusive for the length of your booking.

Brand Activations And Launches

Product launches, tournaments, community takeovers and press days. The Jordan “The One” London finals were played on this court in 2026.

Film, Television And Photography

A genuine playing surface, controllable light and a black-walled hall that photographs well. Available for full-day and multi-day shoots.

Private And Corporate Events

Company sports days, staff tournaments, awards nights and receptions, in a room that seats or stands up to 275.

Basketball And Sport

Competitive fixtures, training camps, showcases and trials on a full-size marked court with changing rooms.

It is a working elite venue: the home court of London Lions Women in Super League Basketball Women, and of London Lions II in NBL Division One.

The detail

What You Get

A full-size basketball court on a wood sports floor, with full markings, glass backboards and an electronic scoreboard.

A single clear-span hall with high ceilings, dark walls and high-level windows, so the room can be lit or blacked back as you need it.

Changing rooms and toilets on the lower ground floor, included for the length of your booking.

Exclusive use of the hall for your hours, with London Lions and New City College branding on the walls — or a clean room if you would rather dress it yourself.

Availability sits outside college teaching hours, including evenings and weekends. Send us your dates and we will confirm what is free.
