Burton Court (sometimes called Bourton Court [ citation needed]) is a park in Chelsea, London.
It belongs to the Royal Chelsea Hospital which is situated on the southside of Royal Hospital Road, and comprises three tennis courts, a tennis academy and a cricket pitch. [1] Burton Court serves as home ground to the Household Division, thus hosting cricket matches many of which involve Army regiments.
In 1687-88 a public footpath was established through the park after the building of the hospital. [2] In 1761 this footpath closed at night, resulting in an extra half a mile for pedestrians to walk around it. [2] Garden Row was built in 1733 facing Burton Court and by 1794 had seven houses. [2]
