Ravens Tennis Club in North Finchley has invested £150,000 into a new eco-friendly clubhouse.

The original clubhouse had stood since 1932 but has been demolished and replaced. The new structure gets its energy from a pump which takes heat from the outside air and uses it to warm up the floor and hot water.

Ravens spent more than £8,500 on the system as part of a concerted effort to build a clubhouse fit for the 21st century.

Club chairman Mike Beckwith said: “We’re really proud of what we’ve done at Ravens.

“We were determined to build a brilliant clubhouse, and a really green clubhouse, and that’s what we’ve achieved.”
