London Westside B.C. are an English basketball club, based in the North Kensington area of West London, England.

History

The club was founded in 2000, with strong links to the local community and to provide opportunity for talented local players to develop.[1][2]

Westside had much early success in the regional leagues, and entered the English Basketball League for the first time in 2004.[3]

The club was severely disrupted by the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, with their main home venue out of action for a considerable period as a hub for the relief effort. The club were later awarded funds from the Grenfell Young People's Fund, raised by readers who donated to the London Evening Standard's Dispossessed Fund Grenfell Appeal, to support their youth development work.[4]
