King's House Sports Ground (formally known as the Civil Service Sports Ground) is a multi-use sports ground in Chiswick, London. King George V presided over the official opening in 1926 and inspected the teams.[1][2] The first recorded cricket match on the ground was in 1926, when the Civil Service cricket team played Australia in a non first-class match.[3] The following year, the ground held its only first-class match when the Civil Service played the touring New Zealanders.[4] This match was also the Civil Service's only appearance in first-class cricket.
