From the Wikipedia article
Burton's Court (also called Burton Court) is a park in Chelsea, London. It belongs to the Royal Chelsea Hospital which is situated on the southside of Royal Hospital Road, and comprises three tennis courts, a tennis academy and a cricket pitch. Burton Court serves as home ground to the Household Division, thus hosting cricket matches many of which involve Army regiments.

Background
History
In 1687-88 a public footpath was established through the park after the building of the hospital. In 1761 this footpath closed at night, resulting in an extra half a mile for pedestrians to walk around it. Garden Row was built in 1733 facing Burton's Court and by 1794 had seven houses.
