Lennox R.F.C. founded in 1883 with about 70 members. They played at Clapham Common, ten minutes walk from Clapham Common Station. The members changed at the ‘Clapham Dinning Rooms’. They played in dark blue shirts with a monogram on the left breast. By 1885 Lennox had already cultivated a first-class fixture list and had out grown Clapham. They first moved to a ground next to ‘The Greyhound’ in Dulwich Village and changed their shirts to black, white and red hoops. In 1888, they moved again, just a few hundred yards down the road to Turney Road in Dulwich using the ‘Crown Hotel’ as their base. In the late 1890’s Lennox would sometimes play big home games at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea.
