About this package

The Real Tennis Museum is a private room for twelve inside the Queen's Clubhouse, set above the active Real Tennis court and decorated throughout with artefacts, photographs, and exhibits from the long history of the sport. Real Tennis predates lawn tennis by several hundred years — the Queen's Club is one of the only venues in London where an active court still exists — and the Museum puts that history at the centre of the dining environment rather than treating it as background detail. It is the kind of room that generates conversation before anyone has touched their food.

The distinction between the Museum and the Dedans next door is one of atmosphere and framing. The Dedans is the traditional viewing gallery of the Real Tennis court — a specific architectural feature built for watching the game. The Museum is a room decorated with the history of that game, offering a broader context for the sport and the club. Both overlook the same court, seat the same number of guests, and share the same menu and drinks structure. The choice between them comes down to whether your group is drawn more to the gallery experience of the Dedans or the curatorial, museum-quality setting of this room.

The food and drink structure is identical to its neighbour: a Champagne reception on arrival, a three-course lunch at a private table set for twelve, afternoon tea, and a complimentary bar running throughout the day covering Pimm's, spirits, beer, wine, and soft drinks. All drinks are permitted courtside as takeaway, which means nothing needs to be left behind when the tennis calls. A Real Tennis demonstration can be arranged at an additional cost — a worthwhile addition for any group genuinely curious about the sport whose history surrounds them during lunch.

The Centre Court seats are Premium North Stand, rows one, two, and three directly behind the baseline — the same position as the Dedans, placing guests at the closest rows to the players during serve and changeover. For the WTA500 specifically, that position puts you immediately behind Emma Raducanu, Jessica Pegula, and Amanda Anisimova as they prepare to serve — a perspective on the game that a sideline seat simply does not offer.
