BRIXTON GREYHOUND STADIUM This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for helping to construct this page. |
The independent greyhound track (independent of the NGRC) in the Brixton area of London was situated at 0° 6' W 51° 28' N and first opened for business on 10th August 1932. Brixton was run by the rivals of the NGRC the BGTCS. It not only had the traditional oval course but also had a straight course for sprints. |
It continued to race as an independent track until closing its gates in 1939. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
This section gives a comprehensive picture of
the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of
glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend
a visit to http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
