2007-2009
In 2007 Millwall acquired the disused railway arches on Millwall Park next to Island Gardens DLR station. Work began in August 2007 with the removal of old equipment that had been laid unused for nearly 20 years. Over the next 2 years walls, floors, piping and new facilities were all laid down. The work was only made possible by the help from many committed volunteers and the clubhouse eventually had its official opening day on 28 March 2009. In 2009 Millwall RFC were granted permission from the Tower Hamlets Burough Council to play adult men’s rugby on Millwall Park in front of the clubhouse. This was an historic occasion for the club and home matches are now attended by many local spectators on Saturday afternoons.
