What's On
Our Sporting Life - Gunnersbury Park
25 Feb 2012 to 28 Aug 2012
The green open spaces of our two boroughs have long been home to
a wide variety of sports while boating clubs have flourished along
the river Thames. In this exhibition we celebrate Acton swimming
club and Brentford football club, both of which have flourished in
their communities for over a hundred years. We feature three
Wimbledon tennis champions from Ealing Lawn Tennis Club and the
stars of the Brentham Club including cricketer Mike Brearley,
footballer Peter Crouch and tennis player Fred Perry, the last
British man to win the singles title at Wimbledon. Other local
sporting heroes include runner Mo Farah; cyclist Eileen Sheridan;
and one of the founders of the London Marathon, John
Disley.
