Westminster Wanderers Football Club

Standard

Westminster Wanderers Football Club is an established and successful adult amateur Sunday league club.  The club is affiliated to the London FA and plays in the Southern Sunday Football League which operates across Lambeth, Wandsworth and Merton.

We have players from politics, researchers, advisers, public affairs, policy, the civil service, PR, journalism, academia and beyond, and are cross-party.  We’re very grateful for the support we’ve had and players we’ve found from W4MP in recent years.​​​​

We welcome new players and would be delighted if you want to get in touch and try out for the Club.  Just contact us and we’ll provide you with details of forthcoming sessions. We also have a casual 8aside match on Monday night for players who can’t be involved in regular 11aside.

We are an FA Charter Standard Club and run four teams in league and cup competitions. The Club is managed by a committee and has policies for welfare and the health and safety of our players.

Our home ground is Fishponds Field in Tooting and we have practice sessions most weeks usually at Battersea Park.  The club also has a strong social programme and an annual tour which has taken us to Iceland, Latvia and Spain in recent years.

You can see more about us on social media – on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (@WestminsterWFC). And you can reach us via these channels or email: westminsterwanderers@gmail.com.  Please do get in touch.
