The Hazelwood Centre is a dual-code rugby ground and sports facility in Sunbury-on-Thames in the English county of Surrey. The facility is known as the home of London Irish. The former professional rugby union side London Irish used the facility as its administrative base and for training, Premiership Rugby Shield matches and pre-season friendlies from opening until entering administration in 2023. London Irish Amateur have also used the facility for training and all home games since opening. In November 2025 the rugby league team London Broncos took over the facilities vacated by London Irish professional team with their training and administrative offices being based here. Their women’s team and reserves also play their matches at Hazelwood.
