Welcome to London D30

London Senior Games - LSG - now also known as London 55+ Games, are offered annually in Summer and Winter. More than 30 one-day tournaments are held – individual & team sports such as pickleball, badminton, slo-pitch & hockey, as well as social games like shuffleboard, crokinole, euchre & 8 Ball – something for everybody aged 55+.
Going strong since 1985, thanks to the efforts of a wonderful group of volunteers and with the very generous support of the City of London Recreation Department, we continue to offer ways for older Londoners to stay active and meet new friends. Events are held all over the city – accessible to all.
We offer a full slate of events for the London Summer & Winter Games 2024. Many participants will go on to compete in the South West Regional Games in July.

We are always open to new ideas and new volunteer Board members.
