hi guys, i'm well up for this. There's this court, but it's unlit and outdoor. however it is well enclosed (checked it out last night), the goals exist, free, and very near Brixton. Maybe better for daytime polo.
Potential Brixton Court?

I got stopped by the Police in there last night, Looked alright in there tho...

There's less light, space, and I think more down-ramps...but hey I'm Ez if one don't work out they're only down the road from one another!!

Those photos are all the brixton rec car park aren't they?

I just remembered another place, basketball court off pulross road, near ferndale road. Think it's floodlit every night and prob easy to use. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl Usually kinda busy, though not sure about in winter.

hamster is that fyfield rd? If it is its perfect, might hav eto fight a few estate kids for the court though, its also just round the corner from the carpark. Its quite well lit around there anyway because its right on an estate. Is it just too dark for night time though?
