Eton Manor

Eton Manor is a sports venue within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park offering spaces designed for athletic and community activities. The site contains open areas alongside dedicated facilities for different sports and public events.

The site originated as a private estate in 1912 before being adapted as a temporary venue for wheelchair tennis during the 2012 Olympic Games. After the event, it was converted into a permanent recreational facility that integrated Olympic legacy into the local neighborhood.

The name traces back to a historic estate, and the place now serves as a community meeting point where locals and visitors engage in outdoor activities together. It represents how former Olympic venues can become neighborhood gathering spaces rather than remain as monuments to a single event.

The venue is well connected by public transport and accessible from multiple directions, making it straightforward to reach from various parts of the city. Plan your visit during warmer months when most outdoor activities run and the grounds are fully active.

Before becoming an Olympic venue, the property functioned as a private garden for over a hundred years, maintained by generations of a single family. This long history as an intimate space gives the grounds a distinctive character that remains visible today in its green layouts and open design.
