LONDON (HARLINGTON CORNER) 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 Harlington Corner greyhound stadium in London was situated on the Bath road and first opened for racing in 1935. The track was forced to close during the War, the land being used by the Air Ministry, but racing returned to the track after the War ended.

The track operated for a further 14 years after the end of the War, but it finally closed in 1959. The site on which the former track stood is now a Holiday Inn.
