See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2992765 for a picture of the other tennis courts. This was the last one of the series and was very overgrown with weeds growing through the tarmac etc. When Barnet Council renovated the other courts they decided to leave this one as it was. It is an interesting experiment in how plants reclaim developed areas as well as providing a habitat for plants and insects etc in a built up area.
