Ranelagh Polo Club

Ranelagh Polo Club is one of England's most historic and charitably significant polo clubs, established in the leafy Barnes and Richmond area of southwest London — making it one of the closest polo venues to the capital. With roots stretching back deep into English polo history, Ranelagh holds a special place in the sport's British heritage, having once been among the leading clubs in the country before transitioning to its current role as a community-oriented club with strong educational and charitable programmes. The club's location near Richmond Park gives it a distinctly urban edge compared to the rural clubs of Berkshire and Gloucestershire, and this proximity to London makes it accessible to players and enthusiasts who live and work in the city. Ranelagh is particularly active in charitable polo and has hosted events in support of numerous causes over the years. The club has a welcoming and inclusive culture that makes it suitable for players at various stages of development, from beginners to experienced club-level players. Its combination of historic prestige, London accessibility, and charitable spirit make it one of Britain's most distinctive polo institutions.
