The Roehampton Club is an exclusive private members sports club in Roehampton in southwest London, England. Roehampton Club is set in 100 acres (400,000 m2) of parkland, close to Richmond Park. Originally established in 1901 as an officers polo club, the Roehampton Club has a wide range of sporting and leisure facilities including an 18-hole golf course, 28 tennis courts, 5 squash courts, 4 croquet lawns, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a gym, fitness studio, health and beauty clinic and bridge room. At the turn of the 19th century there was a tremendous strain on the polo clubs of London to provide for the growing interest in the sport. Clubs existed in the vicinity of the capital but were considered to be too far. It was the initiative of the Miller brothers that began the formation of the Roehampton club to alleviate this problem. Edward Miller had left the 17th Lancers in 1893 to start Rugby Polo Club at his home in Warwickshire.
