King's House Sports Ground (formally known as the Civil Service Sports Ground) is a multi-use sports ground in Chiswick, London. King George V presided over the official opening in 1926 and inspected the teams.[1][2] The first recorded cricket match on the ground was in 1926, when the Civil Service cricket team played Australia in a non first-class match.[3] The following year, the ground held its only first-class match when the Civil Service played the touring New Zealanders.[4] This match was also the Civil Service's only appearance in first-class cricket.
The ground held a single Second XI Championship match in 1973 when the Middlesex Second XI played the Kent Second XI.[5]
During the 1993 Women's Cricket World Cup, the ground held its only Women's One Day International when New Zealand women played the West Indies.[6]
Since 2010 the Sports Ground has been managed by King's House School. The school has overseen many new developments to facilities, including a new 3G and all-weather pitch.
