Burton’s Court, Public park in Chelsea, London, England
Burton's Court is a public park in Chelsea, London, with three tennis courts and a cricket pitch located next to the Royal Chelsea Hospital. The open green space serves as a recreational area for both organized sports and casual use.
Public access to the land began in 1687 following the construction of the Royal Chelsea Hospital, which opened a footpath through the area. This connection shaped how the space would later develop as a recreational resource.
The park functions as the home ground for the Household Division, where various Army regiments participate in regular cricket matches throughout the year.
The park can be entered through multiple gates along Royal Hospital Road with convenient public transport nearby. Be aware that the sports facilities may be unavailable at certain times due to scheduled events or maintenance.
Garden Row appeared in 1733 facing the park and grew into a row of residential houses that shaped Victorian Chelsea's character. These homes show how the open space influenced the residential development of the neighborhood.
